landrush

landrush
a) A historical event in which previously restricted land of the United States was opened for homesteading on a first-come-first-served basis.

It never knew a boom and was relatively untouched by the great landrush of the 1850s.

b) Any scramble for limited resources.

The landrush to all intents and purposes made the cowboy defunct.
