November 6, 1928 Hoover was elected President of the United States. November 19, 1928 Hoover began a seven week tour of Latin America and promised to establish policies that would make the U.S. a good neighbor. March 4, 1929 Herbert Hoover was inaugurated as 31st President of the United States.
Herbert Hoover (1874-1964), Americaâs 31st president, took office in 1929, the year the U.S. economy plummeted into the Great Depression. Although his predecessorsâ policies undoubtedly contributed to the crisis, which lasted over a decade, Hoover bore much of the blame in the minds of the American people.
