The Enlarged Homestead Act, enacted in 1909, expanded upon the original Homestead Act of 1862 by allowing settlers to claim up to 320 acres of land instead of the previous 160 acres, provided they would cultivate crops on the land. This act aimed to encourage agricultural development in the arid regions of the Great Plains and other areas unsuitable for traditional farming methods. It also required that at least half of the claimed land be used for farming. The act was part of broader efforts to promote settlement and development in the American West.
