Chain

A chain is a unit of length traditionally used in land surveying. The most common version is the Gunter’s chain, which equals 66 feet or 22 yards, approximately 20.1168 meters.

The chain was introduced by English clergyman Edmund Gunter in the 17th century to simplify land measurement. One chain consists of 100 links, each 0.66 feet long. It became a standard unit in British and American land surveying and was instrumental in defining land areas, especially in the U.S. Public Land Survey System.

Key Conversions:

1 chain = 66 feet
1 chain = 22 yards
1 chain ≈ 20.1168 meters
10 chains = 1 furlong
80 chains = 1 mile

Though now largely replaced by metric units and modern surveying tools, the chain still appears in older land deeds, maps, and rural property descriptions.

Mile (Roman)

The Roman mile (mille passuum, meaning "a thousand paces") was a unit of distance used in ancient Rome. It measured approximately 1,000 double steps, or 5,000 Roman feet. One Roman foot (pes) was about 11.65 inches (29.6 cm), making the Roman mile roughly 4,850 feet or about 1,480 meters.

The Roman mile was used for measuring distances along roads across the Roman Empire, often marked by milestones (miliaria) placed at intervals of one mile. This system allowed for standardized road construction and efficient communication and transportation across vast territories.

Although shorter than the modern statute mile (1,609.344 meters), the Roman mile laid the foundation for the concept of mile-based distance measurement. The word "mile" itself originates from the Latin "mille," reflecting this Roman origin. Over time, the length of a mile evolved, eventually leading to the modern definitions used today.
