The term "Hooverville" was used to describe the makeshift shantytowns that sprang up during the Great Depression, named derisively after President Herbert Hoover. Many people blamed Hoover for the economic hardships and rising unemployment, viewing these communities as a symbol of his administration's failure to address the crisis. The name reflected public dissatisfaction and became a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by those displaced by the economic downturn.
