In what year were people first offered the opportunity to claim up to 160 acres of free land?

The Homestead Act was put into place in the year 1862.

The Homestead Act was put into act in order to encourage citizens to travel west and conquer land through Manifest Destiny. This act allowed citizens to claim up to 160 acres of free land, just as the description above states.

Hope this helps!
