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Today, the square perch is largely obsolete and rarely used, having been replaced by metric units such as square meters.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.
Township
A township is a unit of land measurement or administrative division, often used to describe a subdivision of a county or municipality.
History/Origin
Historically, townships originated as land divisions in colonial America and were used for administrative and land surveying purposes. The concept varies by country, with some regions using it as a local government unit and others as a cadastral division.
Current Use
Today, townships are used primarily in certain countries like the United States and Canada for administrative, land surveying, and local governance purposes, though their specific functions and boundaries can differ regionally.
