The people who migrated to the Great Plains in the late 1800s became known as homesteaders and settlers, seeking new opportunities and land under the Homestead Act of 1862. They were often farmers, ranchers, and immigrants drawn by the promise of fertile land and economic prospects. Many faced harsh conditions, including droughts and isolation, but they contributed to the settlement and development of the region, establishing communities and agricultural practices that shaped the Great Plains. Their efforts played a significant role in transforming the area into a key agricultural hub in the United States.
