california jumbo loans: Early U.S. Land Division Methods - 10/05/11 05:26 PM
Early U.S. Land Division Methods
One of the earliest land division methods in North America was the long lot. Sometimes called the French long lot or the riverine long lot, this land division method can be found where French immigrants settled.
