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.
Section
A section is a unit of area measurement used to quantify a specific portion of a larger area, typically in land or land-related contexts.
History/Origin
The term 'section' originated from land surveying practices, particularly in the United States Public Land Survey System, where it refers to a square mile area (640 acres). It has been used historically to subdivide land for legal and administrative purposes.
Current Use
Today, 'section' is primarily used in land surveying, real estate, and legal contexts to describe specific parcels of land, especially in regions that follow the Public Land Survey System or similar subdivision methods.
