Annotation: The Pacific Railway Act authorized construction of the first transcontinental railroad, extending from the Missouri River to the Pacific Ocean. The act was approved and signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln on July 1, 1862. The Civil War and lack of investors slowed the progress of constructing the railroad, but the project was completed on May 10, 1869.

The railroads acquired more than 175 million acres of public land (an area one-tenth the size of the United States and larger than Texas) from 1850-1871.

Migration into the American interior expanded with the development of the railroad. Arriving settlers purchased tracts of land that belonged to the railroad; and farmers and ranchers were willing to pay high prices for the convenience of having land near railway stations.
