The origin of acre dates back to the Middle Ages when 1 acre equalled the area a man and a yoke of oxen can till in a day.

Several monarchs in England introduced the statutory measurement of an acre in varying degrees. During Queen Victoria’s reign, 1 acre equalled 4,840 square yards as per the British Weights and Measures Act of 1878.

The measurement of an acre also differed significantly throughout Europe before the metric system introduction. In India, acre units are primarily used to measure the area of agricultural land, whereas a square foot is used to measure residential plots.
