Since the building of Glen Canyon Dam, Page has changed its image several times. It went through two phases as a construction town toCity of Page the present one of a friendly, inviting and scenic vacation destination for visitors from all over the world.

From 1970 to 1975, another construction period took place with the building of the Navajo Generating Station—a coal-fired electric plant just east of page on the Navajo Reservation.
