Georgia's first landowners acquired their land primarily through the Georgia Land Lottery system established in the 1800s, which allowed eligible white male citizens to draw lots for parcels of land. Additionally, some land was granted to settlers and veterans of the Revolutionary War as incentives for settlement. Before the lottery system, land was also acquired through direct purchase from the colonial government and through treaties with Native American tribes. These methods facilitated the rapid expansion and settlement of the region.
