Holtwood Dam (also Holtwood Hydroelectric Dam Holtwood Hydroelectric Plant McCalls Ferry Dam) is the oldest of three major dams built across the lower Susquehanna River and the middle location of the three. It was constructed as the McCalls Ferry Dam between 1905 and 1910 by the Pennsylvania Water & Power Company. The dam was renamed Holtwood in honor of two company executives. PW&P merged with the current owner of the dam Pennsylvania Power & Light (PPL) in 1955.
