During the Great Depression New Deal planners attributed much of the nation's unemployment problem to automation in the workplace. It was believed that structural economic changes had dislocated millions of city workers permanently. To get these people off relief, the Federal Emergency Relief Administration established about 100 rural industrial communities across America. By providing the opportunity to develop rural communities based upon modern farming and agriculturally-related industries, dislocated workers would be brought back to the land as productive citizens. One of the most unique of these rural industrial communities was established in Pine Mountain Valley, Georgia. Being near President Roosevelt's Little White House in Warm Springs, Pine Mountain Valley Community was one of the most extensive and well funded projects of its kind. Like many New Deal projects it outlived its usefulness. Nevertheless, it offered hope to destitute Georgia families who were victimized by the greatest economic crisis in American history.
