During the construction of the Panama Canal much of the work was done in the Culebra Cut and many little villages including Las Cascadas were constructed along the west bank to house the thousands of contract workers, mostly from the Caribbean, who built the Culebra Cut, known to them as "Hell's Gorge" in temperatures mostly over 86 degrees Fahrenheit. The Cut was a trench 295 feet wide, 10 storeys deep, with a length of over 130 football fields, over 60 million pounds of dynamite was used. In 1908 Las Cascadas had 2,425 inhabitants - 957 whites, 1,424 blacks and 44 others.
