Homeowners associations first emerged in the United States in the mid-19th century.a
Another Answer
Official, legal, HOAs became popular in USA in the mid 1960s. Notably, the Dakota Building in Manhattan was converted to a condominium during that period.
They may have been popularized by the development of Levittown, NY -- per Wikipedia: "The first modern planned development was Levittown, built on the site of a potato field on Long Island, off the coast of New York [City]." This development took place between 1947 and 1951.
HOAs followed when it became clear that land in urban areas was scarce and developers wanted to increase living density. Developing homes close together meant that certain agreements were best standardized, giving rise to covenants, conditions, restrictions and reservations -- all common elements in HOAs, condominiums and co-ops.
Note that each community develops its own, unique and non-standard CC&Rs.
Today, this style of real estate ownership is called common interest communities. In these communities, each owner owns their home -- or it is reserved for them in the case of a co-op -- and all other real estate assets in the development are owned in common with all other owners, based on an owner's allocated interest in the community.
