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... In many areas a homestead had to be within 15 km of a railway to be farmed economically.("The Canadian Encyclopedia", Vol. II, 1985, pp. 827-828). 1, record 2, English, - homestead
