The Virginia land grant system was primarily known as the "Headright System." This system granted land to settlers as an incentive to populate and develop the colony, with land awarded based on the number of individuals a person could bring to Virginia. Each headright typically consisted of 50 acres, encouraging both immigration and the establishment of plantations.
The "headright" system was developed as an attempt to get more colonists to move to the newly established English colonies in the Chesapeake area. It guaranteed any colonist who paid their way to the colonies 50 acres of land. This offer was also good for anybody who payed for another person to go to the colonies. The "headright" system was appealing to many "common folk", as they were known, because it promised them land and usually it was more land than they had in England.
the system was called the headright system.
