"Named for the Triphammer forge that operated here in the 1820s. University founder Ezra Cornell fell in love with this spot when he first arrived in Ithaca, and he made his name here building the first Beebe Lake Dam to deliver reliable year-round waterpower to mills downstream."
There is a dam built on top of the falls to create Beebe Lake and provide power.

"Triphammer Falls is in Ithaca on the Cornell University campus. It is one of several falls on Falls Creek, of which Ithaca Falls is by far the most impressive. Triphammer Falls is right in the middle of the city. The falls consists of two drops, although the first drop has been partially obscured by the dam that forms Beebe Lake. The lower half can be viewed from the East Avenue bridge."
