Homesteaders were individuals or families who settled on land granted by the Homestead Act of 1862 in the United States. They were often farmers seeking to cultivate land and build a new life. Many were immigrants or those seeking economic opportunities, and they typically engaged in agriculture, raising livestock, and developing the land to meet the requirements of the Act. Additionally, some homesteaders were laborers or tradespeople who contributed to the local economy.
