The Homestead Act of 1862 allowed
Americans to claim 160-640 Acres of undeveloped land by living on and
farming it for 5 years.
Also in the 1860s the Transcontinental
Railroad was built across North America, linking rail networks between
the east and west coasts. The development of the railroads accelerated
the spread of Homesteaders colonizing the west and lead to the rapid
cultivation of new farm lands.
Become a Homesteader with a new claim
and help develop a Township into a thriving City! The player who
contributes the most will be declared the winner and have the city named
after them!
