Train-riding hobos first appeared in America in the 1860s, after the Civil War. The term hobo entered American parlance around 1890. By 1930, the number of hobos had risen to approximately one million.
During the Great Depression, hobos often didn’t own much more than the shirt on their back. By banding together and offering each other help, they got by. Hop on the train!
