The first mobile homes can be traced back to the 1500’s when roaming bands of Gypsies, traveled with their horse drawn mobile homes. Again the need for mobile homes can be seen in the 1870’s as beach homes on the Atlantic sea shore, were moved onto the shore by horses. Today’s mobile homes can thank their start from the “Trailer Coaches” of the 20’s and 30’s. After World War II their was a shortage of housing, when the Veterans came home, the need for a “Mobile Home” was born. Cheap and quickly built housing. How great this was, a family could be mobile with their home and allow them to travel where the jobs were. Mobile Homes continued to evolve over the next 30 years. Then in 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. Then in 1980 Congress approved changing the term from “Mobile Home” to “Manufactured Home”
