Around 1860, the Town of Danbury constructed the initial dam on Kohanza Brook to create a reservoir for its water supply. However, in February 1869, a flood wave destroyed the dam. In the same year, the dam was rebuilt in two smaller sections—Upper Kohanza and Lower Kohanza Lake—which are now used in conjunction to supplement Danbury's public water supply.
