To obtain free land under the Homestead Act of 1862 in the United States, a settler needed to file an application, pay a small fee, and demonstrate their intention to cultivate the land. They were required to improve the land by building a dwelling and cultivating crops for a minimum of five years. After fulfilling these conditions, the settler could claim ownership of the land. This act aimed to encourage westward expansion and settlement.
