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.
Square Pole
A square pole is a unit of area measurement representing the area of a square with one pole (perch) as its side, where one pole equals 16.5 feet, making the area 272.25 square feet.
History/Origin
The square pole originated from traditional land measurement systems used in England and colonial America, primarily for measuring plots of land in rural and agricultural contexts before the widespread adoption of metric units.
Current Use
Today, the square pole is rarely used in modern measurement systems but may still be encountered in historical land records, rural property descriptions, or in regions that retain traditional measurement units.
