Truman Dam and Reservoir in honor of the former president from Missouri by Congress in 1970. Construction was completed in 1979.

Completing the Truman Project took many years of planning, land acquisition, constructing new bridges and demolishing old ones. Several roads, towns, and cemeteries had to be relocated. The first construction project completed on the project was relocating Missouri State Highway 13 so it would be above maximum pool level. The creation of the lake forced the closure of the Frisco Railroad's "Highline" Rising water levels severed the tracks near Osceola and Deepwater and railroad officials declined to spend millions to reroute the lightly-used tracks. The Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad, however, did relocate it's mainline between LaDue and Clinton; the project included five miles of new track and a causeway/bridge combination over the lake.
