The Desert Land Act is a United States federal law which was passed by the United States Congress on March 3, 1877, to encourage and promote the economic development of the arid and semiarid public lands within certain states of the Western states. Through the Act, United States citizens, or those declaring an intent to become a citizen, over the age of 21 may apply for a desert-land entry to irrigate and reclaim the land. This act amended the Homestead Act of 1862. Originally the act offered 640 acres (2.6 km2), although currently only 320 acres may be claimed.

  • 砂漠法 (Desert Land Act) とは1877年3月3日にアメリカ合衆国議会を通過した法律である。米国西部の乾燥・半乾燥状態の公有地を開拓し、経済発展を助長・促進することを目的とした。この砂漠法では、個人は公有地の内、乾燥地および半乾燥地を開墾、灌漑し耕すことを申請する。 一人につき最大 640 エーカー(2.59 平方キロメートル)の土地を 1 エーカー当たり 1.25 ドルで払い下げを受ける代わりに 3 年以内に灌漑を行うことを約束しなければならない。申請者は灌漑のための努力を行ったことの証明を 3 年以内に提出しなくてはならなかったが、水源がどこにでもあるというわけではなく、多くの数(推定で初期の申請の 95 % 以上)の詐欺的な「証明書」が提出された。 (ja)

A precursor act in 1875, called the Lassen County Act, was pushed by Representative John K. Luttrelll of the northeastern district of California, who wanted to speed up privatization of land east of the Sierra. This act enlarged the maximum allowable purchase for settlers from 160 acres to 640 acres. With the backing of , Luttrell and Senator Aaron A. Sargent co-sponsored the Desert act which extended the Lassen County Act to cover several arid states and other regions of California. (en)
