Twin Branch Dam is the tallest dam with a hydroelectric power station on the St. Joseph River in Indiana. When it was first commissioned, it was called the Hen Island Dam. The name Twin Branch Dam comes from the Twin Branch Creek which empties into the St. Joseph River just above the dam. The prior name for the dam, "Hen Island Dam," came from an island that used to be just below the dam where a riverboat resident used the island to raise geese and chickens. There were two islands, one named "Hen Island" and the other "Goose Island". Both islands were taken by the river by the 1950s.
