A late 19th- and early 20th-century phenomenon, in which immigrants were attracted to the Canadian West by government advertisements of "free" land. Under the Dominion Lands Policy, 160 acres cost only $10, but the homesteader had to build a house, often of log or sod and cultivate a specified area within 3 years ...

La définition actuelle découle du sens historique; il est difficile de tracer une démarcation claire entre les deux. Les termes français sont tous équivalents du terme anglais mais ne sont pas synonymes entre eux dans bien des cas. Il est donc important de choisir le terme approprié au contexte qui est le sien. «Homestead» convient pour les États-Unis et l'Ouest canadien. Les autres expressions suivent un ordre chronologique, «exploitation familiale» et «ferme familiale» valant pour les temps présents.  4, record 4, French, - homestead
