Mobile Homes History
The first examples of mobile homes can be
traced back to the roaming bands of gypsies, who traveled with their horse
drawn mobile homes as far back as the 1500s. In America, the first mobile
homes were built in the 1870's, these were movable beach front properties,
built in the Outer Banks region of North Carolina. The homes were moved by
teams of horses.
Mobile homes as we know them today began in
1926, with automobile-pulled trailers or "Trailer Coaches", designed as a
home away from home during camping trips. The trailers evolved into
"Mobile Homes" brought into demand after World War II ended. Veterans came
home to needing housing and finding it in short supply. "Mobile Homes"
provided cheap and quickly built housing for the Veterans and their
families (the beginning of the baby boom) and being mobile allowed the
families to travel where the jobs were.
By 1943, trailers averaged a width of 8ft
and were over 20ft in length, they had up to 3 to 4 separate sleeping
sections but no bathrooms. By 1948, lengths had reached up to 30ft and
bathrooms were introduced. Mobile homes continued to grow in length and
widths such as doublewide.
In June of 1976, the United States Congress
passed the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Act (42
U.S.C.), which assured that all homes were built to tough national
standards. In 1980, Congress approved changing the term 'Mobile Home' to
'Manufactured Home'.
