People began to call the shantytowns during the great depression as Hooverville.

Explanation:

Shanty towns are the towns which are at the outer area of a town and they have certain large number of unhygienic dwellings around them and these areas also do not comprise of certain very basic amenities required by the humans to live their lives and are very backward areas.

During the time of great depression, these areas of low development were known as the Hooverville and were built by the people in the United States which did not have any place or house to live in.
