In the 19th century, claiming land in the American West typically involved the Homestead Act of 1862, which allowed individuals to claim 160 acres of public land for a small fee, provided they improved the land by building a dwelling and cultivating crops for five years.

Other methods included land grants from the government or purchasing land from private owners.
