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