What is a Chain?

The chain (22 yards or 20.1168 m) was crucial in land surveying. Invented by Edmund Gunter in 1620, 10 square chains equal 1 acre. Modern surveyors still use 'chain' terminology.

What is an Arpent?

The arpent was a French land measurement ranging from 0.3-1.3 acres (1,300-5,300 m²). In colonial Louisiana, it standardized to 0.85 acres (3,439 m²) - about 192 French feet square. This unit persists in Quebec property records and New Orleans land deeds, where 'Arpent Lines' still mark historic boundaries.
