In 1932 about 20,000 US veterans of World War-1 went to Washington
trying to obtain financial relief during the depression by demanding the
full and immediate payment of the veterans payment due in 1945. They
established shanties and shacks to live in while their pleas were being
considered by the Congress. These temporary "Homes" were actually a
poor example of a slum and in honor of the President Hoover were given
the pejorative name Hoovervilles. To the shame of all involved, the US
Army was called in to burn out and disperse the protesters.
The "Hooverville" term was used to represent all subsequent depression era shantytowns.
