Square Perch
A square perch is a unit of area measurement equal to the area of a square with one perch (16.5 feet) on each side.
History/Origin
The square perch, also known as a square rod or perche, originated in the British Imperial system and was traditionally used in land measurement, especially in the UK and former British colonies.
Current Use
Today, the square perch is largely obsolete and rarely used, having been replaced by metric units such as square meters. It may still be encountered in historical land records or in regions where traditional units persist.
Homestead
A homestead is a dwelling and its surrounding land where a family makes its home, often used to refer to a farm or estate.
