The Homestead Act of 1862 required applicants to meet three main conditions: they had to be at least 21 years old or the head of a household, they needed to be U.S. citizens or intend to become citizens, and they had to settle on and improve the land by building a dwelling and cultivating crops for at least five years. Once these requirements were met, they could claim ownership of 160 acres of public land.
