Settlers were initially given 160 acres of land under the Homestead Act of 1862.
160 acres of land
Settlers under the Homestead Act of 1862 could receive up to 160 acres of land for free if they met the requirements, such as living on the land, building a home, and farming the land for a certain period of time.

The Homestead Act
The last claim under the Homestead Act was made by Ken Deardorff for 80 acres of land on the Stony River in southwestern Alaska.

$1.25 per acre, and you could only receive up to 160 acres.
The Land Act of 1800 benefited settlers by reducing the minimum amount of land a settler had to buy under the Act from 640 acres to 320. This allowed settlers who couldn't afford land under the previous rules to be able to purchase a smaller tract.
In an effort to encourage Western migration, the U.S. Government (under president Abraham Lincoln) began providing settlers 160 acres of public land. In exchange, homesteaders paid a small filing fee and were required to complete five years of continuous residence before receiving ownership of the land. After six months of residency, homesteaders also had the option of purchasing the land from the government for $1.25 per acre. The Homestead Act led to the distribution of 80 million acres of public land by 1900.

The Homestead Act, signed into law by Abraham Lincoln in 1862, provided that settlers could receive title to up to 160 acres (equal to 65 hectares) if they improved the land (built a house or farm) and lived there for a period of 1 year.This was an act of an exclusively Union Congress during the Civil War, and liberalized the grants under the Preemption Act of 1841. Subsequent bills offered 320 acres (mostly hard-to-farm lands) in 1906, and 640 acres (for ranches) in 1916. The statutes were phased out in 1976, except in Alaska where they ended in 1986.
