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.
Circular Inch
A circular inch is a unit of area measurement representing the area of a circle with a diameter of one inch.
History/Origin
The circular inch originated as a specialized measurement in fields requiring precise circular area calculations, but it is not widely used in standard measurement systems and has limited historical adoption.
Current Use
Today, the circular inch is primarily used in niche applications such as engineering and manufacturing where circular area measurements are relevant, but it remains a rarely used unit outside specialized contexts.
