Mansfield Dam and Lake Travis LCRA and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation built the dam from 1937 to 1942. After a severe flood in July 1938, LCRA raised the height of the dam to add storage capacity for floodwaters.

It was renamed in 1941 for U.S. Rep. J.J. Mansfield, who assisted in the project's development. For information about parks on Lake Travis, see map of parks and recreation areas.
