Which statement is true about the "Hooverville” outside Seattle?

Seattle’s Hooverville, a shantytown formed during the Great Depression, had its own unofficial mayor, Jesse Jackson, who helped represent residents and maintain order. It did not house over 5,000 people, and it was located on public land rather than donated private land. The site was cleared in 1941, before the end of World War II.
