Units explained
Arpent (Canadian)
A Canadian arpent is a historical unit of area equal to exactly 3418.89 m². Used in French-Canadian land records, especially in Quebec and Louisiana.
Standardized in French colonial Canada at 100 perches squared, the perche being the Canadian standard of 18 French pieds.
Canadian arpents appear in legal land descriptions in Quebec, where they remain officially recognized for historical seigneurial properties. Also appear in Louisiana land records from the French colonial period.
French colonial Canadian/Louisiana origin; remains in legal use in Quebec for historical properties.
Carucate
A carucate was a medieval English unit of land area equal to approximately 485,623 m² (about 120 acres or 48.6 hectares).
Originated in early medieval England as the area one team of eight oxen could plow in a year. The size varied considerably by soil type and region.
Carucates appear in the Domesday Book and other medieval English land surveys. The unit was used for taxation assessment but was inherently variable due to its agricultural-output basis.
Anglo-Saxon English origin; obsolete by late medieval period.
