in 1954, the Moses-Saunders Power Project was also built. When construction of these structures was completed, inundation began on July 1, 1958 and resulted in the formation of an artificial widening and deepening in the river which was named Lake St. Lawrence. Inundation of the river caused a dozen villages including Farran's Point, now collectively known as "The Lost Villages", to be flooded.
