The headright system and land lottery in Georgia were both mechanisms used to distribute land to encourage settlement and development in the state. The headright system, established in the 18th century, granted land to individuals based on their family size, incentivizing population growth. The land lottery, introduced in the early 19th century, allowed individuals to draw lots for parcels of land, making land acquisition more random and accessible. Both systems aimed to promote agricultural development and increase the population in the region.
