The Homestead Act, enacted in 1862, opened land for farming primarily in the western United States. It allowed settlers to claim 160 acres of public land for a small fee, provided they improved it by building a dwelling and cultivating crops for at least five years. This act facilitated the westward expansion and settlement of territories that were previously mostly uninhabited or occupied by Native American tribes. States like Nebraska, Kansas, and Colorado were among the key areas where homesteading took place.
