Homestead


A homestead traditionally refers to a parcel of land granted or owned, often for farming or settlement purposes. In the U.S. context, under laws like the Homestead Act, a typical homestead was:



  • 160 acres (about 65 hectares) of public land granted to settlers.



  • Used to encourage settlement and cultivation.



Today, the term can also mean a family’s residence and surrounding land, especially a farm or ranch.


Varas Castellanas Cuadradas


Varas castellanas is an old Spanish unit of length, and varas castellanas cuadradas refers to the corresponding unit of area (square varas castellanas).



  • 1 vara castellana ≈ 0.8359 meters



  • 1 square vara castellana = (0.8359 m)² ≈ 0.6988 m²



This unit was historically used in Spain and Spanish colonies for measuring land and building areas. It is mostly obsolete today but can still appear in old land records.
