For the most part, land distribution occurs when government owned land is made available for eligible citizens. In the United States, Federally owned land in the areas called territories were either given to or sold to citizens for an inexpensive amount of money to encourage new settlements. At one time, the US railroads were given generous deals on Federal land to extend the US railway system.
