Units explained
Hectare
A hectare is a metric unit of area equal to 10,000 square meters, or one square hectometer. It is the most widely used metric unit for land measurement worldwide.
Defined as 100 ares, equal to one square hectometer. The name was introduced in 1795 in France as part of the metric system.
Hectares are the standard unit for agricultural land measurement worldwide except in the US (which uses acres). 1 hectare equals 2.47105 acres. In India, hectares are used in modern agricultural census and land records alongside traditional regional units.
Adopted in France in 1795; standardized internationally through the SI system.
Township
A township is a unit of area used in the US Public Land Survey System (PLSS), equal to 36 square miles (approximately 93.24 km²).
Defined by the Land Ordinance of 1785 as a 6-mile by 6-mile square, divided into 36 sections of 1 square mile each.
Townships are the largest standard unit in the PLSS and appear in US public land records, county boundaries, and historical land grants throughout the central and western US.
Defined by the US Land Ordinance of 1785.
