In the 1700s and early 1800s, Georgia used a combination of land lotteries and headright systems to distribute western lands. The headright system granted land to settlers based on the number of family members, incentivizing population growth. Later, land lotteries were introduced to allocate parcels of land more randomly and fairly, allowing many individuals to have a chance at acquiring land, often leading to significant population expansion in the region. These methods aimed to encourage settlement and development in Georgia's western territories.
