  • Mit dem Begriff Land-grant oder vereinfacht Grant werden Landvergaben in den neuenglischen Kolonien von Nordamerika bezeichnet. Diese Landvergaben beinhalten die Vergabe von Land als Geschenk oder günstiges Kaufangebot oder die Vergabe von Nutzungsprivilegien. Auch die Vergabe als Belohnung für Dienstleistungen oder als Gegenleistung für geleisteten Militärdienst war möglich. Dies geht zurück auf das Aerarium militare, bei denen im Römischen Reich Veteranen vom Staat Land als Pension übereignet bekamen. (de)

The United States historically gave out numerous land grants as Homesteads to individuals desiring to prove a farm. The American Industrial Revolution was guided by many supportive acts of legislatures (for example, the Main Line of Public Works legislation of 1826) promoting commerce or transportation infrastructure development by private companies, such as the Cumberland Road turnpike, the Lehigh Canal, the Schuylkill Canal and the many railroads that tied the young United States together.

  • Le terme land grant, (en français : "don de terrain" ou "concession de terre"), est, dans les pays anglo-saxons, une concession de terres, accordée à une personne morale ou physique en remerciement de services rendus ou afin de l'inciter à développer économiquement une certaine région. La Couronne britannique accorda, dès le XVIe siècle des land grants en Amérique du Nord, à des nobles, afin de coloniser le continent. Elle accorda, au XVIIIe siècle, ce même droit, à des condamnés ayant purgé leur peine, en Australie. Cette pratique fut également en cours au Canada sous le terme de "Concession de terres". (fr)
  • Una concessione terriera è il dono di un possedimento - terreno o privilegio di utilizzo – fatto da un governo o da una autorità come incentivo (inteso al miglioramento) o come ricompensa per un individuo, in particolare per motivi legati al servizio militare. Le concessioni terriere possono essere fatte a singoli o a compagnie di persone come incentivo allo sfruttamento di aree non popolate. Gli Stati Uniti storicamente ebbero numerose concessioni terriere ad individui, con l'intento di lavorare le terre locali e renderle abitabili e fruttuose. La rivoluzione industriale americana venne guidata da una serie di atti legislativi (ad esempio il del 1826) per promuovere il commercio o lo sviluppo di trasporti ed infrastrutture come la , il , il e le linee ferroviarie per unire i diversi stati.
