Convert hectare to square hectometer
Please provide values below to convert hectare [ha] to square hectometer [hm^2], or Convert square hectometer to hectare.
1 ha = 1 hm^2. To convert hectare to square hectometer, multiply the value by 1; to go the other way, divide by it (1 hm^2 = 1 ha). Both units measure area and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 ha = 1 hm^2
- 1 hm^2 = 1 ha
- 10 ha = 10 hm^2
- 100 ha = 100 hm^2

Hectare
A hectare is a metric unit of area equal to 10,000 square meters, commonly used to measure land.
History/Origin
The hectare was introduced in the metric system in the 19th century to provide a practical unit for land measurement, especially in agriculture and forestry.
Current Use
Hectares are widely used worldwide for measuring large land areas, such as farms, forests, and parks, particularly in countries using the metric system.
Square Hectometer
A square hectometer (hm^2) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides of one hectometer (100 meters).
History/Origin
The square hectometer originated from the metric system's adoption, where 'hecto' denotes a factor of 100. It has been used primarily in scientific and geographical contexts to measure large areas.
Current Use
The square hectometer is rarely used in everyday measurements but is occasionally employed in scientific, environmental, and geographical studies to express large land or area measurements.
