Here's a page about towns that have been permanently flooded in the US. Elbowoods, ND is pretty messed up. Native people were displaced and lost their good farmland so that people down river would benefit. https://clui.org/newsletter/spring-2005/immersed-remains-towns-submerged-america https://clui.org/newsletter/spring-2005/immersed-remains-tow...

There are a ton of dams/reservoirs on the US East Coast (I'm most familiar with New England) that flooded out towns. For better or worse, those types of projects would be extremely difficult to do today. See also the interstate highway system.
