//James B. Duke moved to Charlotte and started a new industry. After 1904, he built dams across the catawaba River to generate electricity. Duke's first big customer was James W. Cannon, eventually the whole North Carolina Piedmont benefited from the hydroelectricity made by what became the Duke Power Company. More than a dozen towns had at least 10,000 people living nearby by 1910.//
