There are no swimming signs posted, though.  Security Measures none  Historical Dates Built: 1808 Closed: 0  Required Equipment  Recommended Equipment  History Union Dam was built in 1808 to supply power for the J.W. dickey textile mills across the Patapsco River from Ellicott city. In 1972 Tropical Storm Agnes caused the river to flood and the water forced its way around the dam rendering it useless. The remains still sit in the river, with the water flowing around the dam in its new course.  Media Coverage  Future Plans It is currently being debated whether the dam should be removed.  Stories Add your own story  Photo Galleries Sep. 10th Trip Sat, Sep 11th, 2004 posted by Roland 15 pictures   Add your own photos Mark all galleries as Seen  Web Links http://www.patapsc...y.org/UnionDam.htm  Contribute Edit this Location  Moderator Rating The moderator rating is a neutral rating of the content quality, photography, and coolness of this location.
