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.
Barn
A barn is a unit of area used primarily in agriculture to measure land, especially for farming purposes.
History/Origin
The barn originated as a unit of measure in the 19th century, based on the amount of land that could be covered by a barn, roughly equivalent to 40 square rods or about 40 acres, and was used in land surveying and farming contexts.
Current Use
Today, the barn is largely obsolete as a formal measurement unit but is still used colloquially in agriculture to refer to land area, especially in the United States, often informally approximating 40 acres.
