Land Act of 1804
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Land Act of 1804 was an act which made it easier to buy federal land in Ohio on credit.
The Land Act of 1804 replaced the Harrison Land Act which had been recommended by William Henry Harrison. Under the Harrison Land Act to buy land in Ohio one had to buy a minimum of 320 acres of land for at least $2.00 an acre. The Land Act of 1804 reduced the minimum area required to 160 acres, but kept the minimum price at $1.64 an acre.
