American flophouses date at least to the 19th century, but the term ''[[wikt:flophouse|flophouse]]'' itself is only attested from around the early 1900s, originating in [[hobo]] slang. In the past, flophouses were sometimes called ''lodging houses'' or ''workingmen's hotels'' and catered to [[hobo]]s and transient workers such as seasonal [[Rail transport|railroad]] and [[agriculture]] workers, or migrant [[lumberjacks]] who would travel west during the summer to work and then return to an eastern or [[midwestern]] city which ran along the rail lines, such as [[Chicago]] |

This is described in the [[1930 in literature|1930]] novel ''The Rambling Kid'' by [[Charles Ashleigh]] and the [[1976 in literature|1976]] book ''The Human Cougar'' by [[Lloyd Morain]]. Another theme in Morain's book is the [[gentrification]] which was then beginning and which has led cities to pressure flophouses to close. |
