What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The completion of Iron Bridge Dam in 1960 submerged a homestead site along the Sabine River in Texas, according to reports on the area's reservoirs. The reservoirs in the region have historically covered real communities and homesteads, such as Fairdale, a farming and lumber settlement in Sabine County. These reservoirs provide water supply, flood control, and recreation for the region.
