Homestead Units are a type of land division used in the United States. They are typically measured in ACRES and are used to divide large tracts of land into smaller, more manageable parcels. Homestead Units are often used for agricultural purposes, such as farming or ranching, and can also be used for residential purposes. The term 'Homestead Units' is derived from the Homestead Act of 1862, which granted free land to settlers in the western United States.
