Square Chain
A square chain (ch^2) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one chain (66 feet) each, equivalent to 4356 square feet.
History/Origin
The square chain originated in land measurement practices in England, particularly used in surveying and land division during the 19th century, especially in the context of the Imperial system.
Current Use
Today, the square chain is largely obsolete and rarely used outside historical or land survey contexts; modern measurements typically employ acres or square meters.
Arpent
An arpent is a historical unit of area measurement used primarily in France and French-speaking regions, roughly equivalent to 0.845 acres or 0.34 hectares.
History/Origin
The arpent originated in France during the medieval period and was widely used until the 19th century. Its size varied regionally, but it was commonly employed for land measurement and surveying. The unit was adopted in French colonies and influenced measurements in North America, especially in Louisiana and Quebec.
Current Use
Today, the arpent is largely obsolete and replaced by metric units. It is occasionally referenced in historical contexts or land records in regions where it was historically used, but it has no official status in modern measurement systems.
