http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homestead_Act :

The Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 ended homesteading[5][13]; the government believed that the best use of public lands was for them to remain in government control. The only exception to this new policy was in Alaska, for which the law allowed homesteading until 1986[5].
