About Herbert Hoover
United States
Ends: Aug 10, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
Herbert Hoover Day is an annual celebration in Iowa, proclaimed by the Governor.
Herbert Hoover was born in Iowa on August 10, 1874. As the 31st American President, he had the unenviable job of leading the country through the first four years of the Great Depression. He served as President from 1929-1933.
Hoover graduated from Stanford University and was a mining engineer. He spent a significant part of his early career working for a private mining company in China before moving to London, where he was when Germany declared war on France and kicked off the first World War.
Hoover was instrumental in helping over 120,000 Americans stranded in Europe get home. He then devoted his time to feeding the people of Belgium, who were under German occupation. When the United States entered the war in 1917, Hoover became the head of the US Food Administration, keeping the troops nourished without starving the people at home. He continued his work feeding the hungry after the war and became the Secretary of Commerce under Presidents Harding and Coolidge.
Though he had nothing to do with policies leading to the Great Depression, he was done in by it and defeated in the 1932 election.
However, Hoover wasn't finished with public service. Another World War and then peacetime in need of rebuilding, in 1947, Truman brought Harding back into public service to reorganize various executive departments. President Eisenhower kept him on in 1953, at age 79.
Herbert Hoover passed away at age 90 on October 20, 1964. History remembers him as "The Great Humanitarian" for his work feeding millions during some of the darkest decades of the past century.
