Scope and Content

Morgan J. Sweeney Collection MS 78 Morgan J. Sweeney Collection Morgan Sweeney was one of Boulder City’s most influential citizens whose legacy lies not only in construction of Hoover Dam, but in Boulder City’s incorporation, as well. Born in Rock Springs, Wyoming, on July 27, 1897, Sweeney served in the infantry during World War I. Back in civilian life, Morgan took courses in business administration and electrical engineering. In the 1920s as a journeyman electrician Sweeney worked in Hollywood for the International Association of Theatrical Stage Employees [IATSE] and the Motion Picture Machine Operators [MPMO] union. March 2, 1932 found Sweeney in Boulder City, Nevada working in the mess hall for the Anderson Brothers Supply Company, a job likely obtained through connections made with the Anderson Brothers’ Hollywood operations. When Six Companies construction superintendent Frank Crowe found out that Sweeney was trained as an electrician, he put him to work on the dam project as an electrical foreman. In 1934, Sweeney transferred to work for the Bureau of Reclamation and eventually became superintendent of the Operation and Maintenance Division, a position he held until he retired in 1964. Sweeney was also deeply involved in Boulder City’s incorporation. Because his job for the Boulder Canyon Project included operation and maintenance of Boulder City, Morgan was instrumental in the administrative separation of the city from the Boulder Canyon Project prior to the town’s incorporation. Sweeney served on both the unofficial and official charter committees, was elected to the first city council in 1959, and in 1961 became Boulder City’s second mayor, a position he held three times before he retired from public service in 1976. Sweeney died on New Year’s Day, January 1, 1980. The material in this collection includes a few personal papers such as membership cards, correspondence, receipts, and union books. But the bulk of these papers represents Sweeney’s work in Boulder City’s incorporation, writing its charter, and in various administrative matters relative to the city’s government in the 1950s and 1960s. There are also collections of material reflecting Morgan’s work in other areas of public service including local civil defense. * * *

General Notes

Note

Notes: This collection was received as a series of deposits by Eileen Sweeney Hildebrand and her daughter, Mary Hildebrand Nagler. A large deposit of Sweeney papers was acquired on January 25, 2002 in trade with the Special Collections Department of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas' Lied Library, who received the papers in 1978. A copy of the transfer agreement between the university and the Boulder City Museum and Historical Association is kept in accession file 003.007. The accession number noted for the Morgan J. Sweeney Collection--989.002--is the earliest deposit of such material at the Boulder City Museum and Historical Association. Check accession records under Hildebrand and Nagler for other dates.
