Since the late 1990s and early 2000s, the historic preservation field has begun to include modern resources from the 1950s and 1960s under its purview. Though fitting the definition of a modern resource, mobile home parks as a cultural resource have not yet been considered. This thesis provides a developmental history of mobile home parks to present the resources historic context. Case studies are then used to determine the possibility of a successful nomination of a mobile home park to the National Register of Historic Places.
