I was of the assumption that "Hooverville" was a reference to a nickname 
given to company towns that surfaced during the Hoover administration.

That, or "Hooverville" was the home town of Hoover vacuums.  And thusly,

I believe, though, that Sunil was referring to Hooterville, the town of 
great . . . ah, well . . . you kknow.
