The name of the dam itself is taken from the name of the architect who is a Dutchman named Sir Vance. Because of the difficulty of spelling Vance's name, then the name Pice appeared. But there is another version which states that the name Pice Dam is derived from the Chinese name where Pice (Phice) means floodgates in Chinese. According to his history, the dam which has a flood gate totaling 16 and 79 meters in length was used to regulate the amount of water discharge in the Lenggang River so that the dredger could work to mine tin. But after PT. When the Tin is disbanded, the Pice Dam is only used for the purposes of irrigation of agricultural land and the connecting bridge to Cangguh Village.
