What is recorded here
William Mulholland is a birthplace in Belfast, County Antrim, Ireland. Perhaps the boy who would carve water through dry mountains first watched rain strike Belfast stone. Maybe he learned to build things that carry life across empty ground. Imagine his hands shaping pipes before he ever touched a shovel.
Why this person is known: engineer and builder of the Los Angeles Aqueduct (1855-1935)
