-When the United States acquired [[Portal:North Dakota|North Dakota]], most of the land became part of the public domain. The federal government administered the land through the General Land Office. Available land was surveyed into townships and transferred to private ownership through a process called land entry. The first General Land Office was established at Pembina in 1870.

 Land entry in North Dakota was based either on cash payment for the land (cash entries), or on conditions of settlement (homesteads after 1862). Once a settler completed the requirements for land entry, his case file was sent to the General Land Office in Washington, DC, where a patent or first-title deed was issued.
