Barn
A barn is a unit of area used primarily in agriculture to measure land, especially for farming purposes.
History/Origin
The barn originated as a unit of measure in the 19th century, based on the amount of land that could be covered by a barn, roughly equivalent to 40 square rods or about 40 acres, and was used in land surveying and farming contexts.
Current Use
Today, the barn is largely obsolete as a formal measurement unit but is still used colloquially in agriculture to refer to land area, especially in the United States, often informally approximating 40 acres.
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.
