hate to school ya NATidefan, but the TVA built their first dam was the Norris Dam in Tennessee (was built from 1933-1936); the first TVA dam built in Alabama was the Wheeler dam built during the same years. there were smaller, localized dams, but none that covered the scale the TVA system did. the history of it is kinda hard to follow but you can follow fairly well via wiki
