One I missed on its anniversary:
1863 Daniel Freeman files the first homestead under the newly passed Homestead Act. The homestead was filed in Nebraska.
While the original Homestead Act provided an unsuitably small portion of land for those wishing to homestead in Wyoming, it was used here, and homesteading can be argued to be responsible for defining the modern character of the State.
