Georgia

(Statehood 1788)

Many early settlers traveled from Virginia and the Carolinas to Georgia for the "land lottery". Families were required to live in the territory for at least 1 year to be eligible for the drawings. The drawings were held between 1803 and 1832, giving away tracts of land as large as 400 acres.

See: 1805 Georgia Land Lottery, 1807 Georgia Land Lottery, 1820-1832 Georgia Land Lottery, Georgia Land Lottery, 1827, Georgia Land Lottery, 1832 and 1832 Georgia Gold Lottery.
