Sod houses were introduced in the mid-19th century, particularly during the westward expansion in the United States. They became popular around the 1860s and 1870s, especially on the Great Plains, where timber was scarce, and settlers used locally available materials like grass and soil to construct their homes. These structures provided effective insulation and protection from the harsh weather conditions of the region.
