Summer scene showing the Big Creek Hotel in Big Creek, California. High in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California the hotel was built in 1914 by William Thrower. In 1902, John S. Eastwood, engineer for the Pacific Light and Power Company, selected Big Creek as the site for a new hydroelectric development. This project, called the Big Creek Project, began nine years later turning into one of the world's greatest water power developments. Through all the development Big Creek remained the headquarters of the operation and inevitably a community grew up around the Big Creek Station. The original settlement was called Cascade but was renamed Big Creek in 1926. The community included cottages, shops, a mess hall, warehouses, an office building, and a hospital. The first store was built in 1912. The Big Creek School District was formed on December 10, 1912 serving a vast area of northeast Fresno County.
