Hello!
During the Great Depression, Hoovervilles were built to house many poor and homeless people. They were small, run-down "towns" that were used as shelter during the depression in the 1930s. They were often built around cities to provide housing for the poor, homeless, and unemployed. The term "Hooverville" stems from the president of the United States' name during the Great Depression: Herbert Hoover.

I hope this answers your question!
