The land claims in America, particularly during the westward expansion, were often referred to as "land grants" or "land patents." These claims were formal assertions of ownership over land, typically issued by government authorities. Notably, the Homestead Act of 1862 allowed individuals to claim parcels of land for farming, while treaties with Native American tribes also recognized land rights, though often leading to disputes and conflicts.
