First use of "gated community"

[Paul McFedries]

I'm trying to track down the earliest known use of the phrase "gated
community." I have a citation from The New York Times on January 26, 1979.
However, I also found the following in a US News & World Report article:

"Private streets and gated communities may well have been invented in St.
Louis--they were known to exist here as early as the 1850s."
--"A tourist in my own town," US News & World Report, November 30, 1998

I know this doesn't necessarily mean the phrase "gated community" was around
in the 1850s, but it got me thinking that the phrase might be much older
than 1979. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Paul
