The term âhookerâ was used in print as early as 1845, years before Hooker was a public figure, and is likely derived from the concentration of prostitutes around the shipyards and ferry terminal of the Corlearâs Hook area of Manhattan in the early to middle 19th century, who came to be referred to as âhookersâ.
