The Kaskaskia Land District Office was created by an act of Congress on March 26, 1804. Kaskaskia's Register and Receiver were designated as a Board of Commissioners (first board served 1804-1809; second board 1809-1813) to examine district land claims based on French or British grants; or on Congressionial acts granting land to heads of families; former militia men; and settlers who had made tract improvements. Each claim decision was submitted to Congress for final approval, as were claims previously confirmed by Northwest and Indiana Territory Governors which were reviewed by the Kaskaskia board.

After all claims were settled and surveys completed, the Kaskaskia Land District Office began selling land on August 10, 1814. The original Kaskaskia District was reduced in size when the new Shawneetown District assumed control over land east of the third principal meridan (1812); and was further reduced when the Edwardsville District (1816) took control of all land north of the third principal meridan. When the Kaskaskia Land District Office was discontinued by a Congressional act (February 25, 1856), district land sales were transferred to the Springfield Land District Office.

The Kaskaskia Land District Office was created by an act of Congress on March 26, 1804. Kaskaskia's Register and Receiver were designated as a Board of Commissioners (first board served 1804-1809; second board 1809-1813) to examine district land claims based on French or British grants; or on Congressionial acts granting land to heads of families; former militia men; and settlers who had made tract improvements. Each claim decision was submitted to Congress for final approval, as were claims previously confirmed by Northwest and Indiana Territory Governors which were reviewed by the Kaskaskia board.

After all claims were settled and surveys completed, the Kaskaskia Land District Office began selling land on August 10, 1814. The original Kaskaskia District was reduced in size when the new Shawneetown District assumed control over land east of the third principal meridan (1812); and was further reduced when the Edwardsville District (1816) took control of all land north of the third principal meridan. When the Kaskaskia Land District Office was discontinued by a Congressional act (February 25, 1856), district land sales were transferred to the Springfield Land District Office.
