A Brief History of the Imperial System of Measurements

In 1824, the Weights and Measures Act was pioneered by Great Britain, marking the beginning of the official British imperial system. This system lasted for four decades until 1864 when the metric system was adopted in Great Britain. Today, the United States of America still uses the imperial system of measurements, as do a few other notable countries. Although some countries still use the imperial system, objects defining certain units of measurement are made using the metric system, sometimes referred to as the "roundest object in the world," and then transferred to imperial via respective mathematical relations.

Before using the area converter, it may help to understand each input field:

• From unit: Select the unit of measurement you are using and would like converted (e.g., square meter, square kilometer, square mile).
