The "Sheepherder", "Sheep Camp Wagon" or also called
"Sheepwagon" was invented in the 1880's. No person is credited for its
invention, there were many that left their mark in its development. The
first "American Mobile Home", encompassing practicality and efficiency.
All sheep wagons had the same basic design. They all
featured a bed, stove, table, benches, cabinet, dutch door and a window
in the back over the bed. But one fact is clear—no two were created the
same. Each had its own personality, depending on the builder and the
sheepherders or ranchers that lived in them.
