Hectare to other units conversion

A hectare is a widely used metric unit for measuring large land areas, especially in agriculture and real estate. The table below provides conversions from hectares to other common land measurement units for easy reference.

History of Hectare

With the introduction of the metric system in 1795, a unit of area called the are was established, equal to 100 square meters. Consequently, 1 hectare consisted of 100 ares. During the metric system’s rationalisation in 1960, the hectare was adopted as a non-SI unit for measuring area and permitted for use alongside SI units, while the are was removed from the list of recognised units. The term "hectare" originates from the Latin word area via French. As a recognised unit, the hectare can be expressed using standard international units, with its equivalent known as a square hectometer.

History of cent

The term cent as a unit of area measurement has its origins in South Asia, particularly in India and Sri Lanka. Traditionally, a cent represents one-hundredth of an acre, making it a convenient subdivision for land measurement in rural and semi-urban areas. The use of the cent emerged during British colonial rule, as a way to standardize smaller land parcels for easier management and transactions. Although the metric system is now the official standard in many countries, the cent remains widely used in real estate, especially in states like Kerala and Tamil Nadu. It continues to be an important unit for measuring land in everyday property dealings.
