What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms measurements from the arpent, a traditional French area unit used in colonial land records, into the square hectometer, an SI-derived area unit commonly used for agricultural and surveying purposes.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the area value in arpent into the input field
  • Select the desired output unit: square hectometer [hm²]
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent area
  • Use the results for mapping, analysis, or record updates

Key Features

  • Accurate conversion from arpent to square hectometer [hm²]
  • Supports historical and modern land measurement contexts
  • Simple interface for quick area translation
  • Useful for cadastral, agricultural, and civil engineering applications

Examples

  • 2 arpent converts to approximately 0.6837785848 square hectometer [hm²]
  • 5 arpent converts to approximately 1.709446462 square hectometer [hm²]

Common Use Cases

  • Analyzing historical land grants in Québec and Louisiana
  • Interpreting old cadastral maps and property records
  • Measuring agricultural fields using standardized units
  • Conducting land-use mapping for parks or development planning

Tips & Best Practices

  • Verify the regional definition of an arpent for precise conversions
  • Use this tool to standardize old measurements into SI units
  • Apply results to modern surveying or GIS projects
  • Cross-check converted values when working with historical documents

Limitations

  • The arpent size has historically varied by location, making the conversion factor approximate
  • Conversion using 0.3418892924 hm² per arpent may not exactly reflect all historical records
  • Confirm the specific regional arpent definition when accuracy is critical

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an arpent used for?
An arpent is a historical French unit of area typically used to describe land parcels in colonial Québec and Louisiana.

Why convert arpent to square hectometer?
Converting arpent to square hectometer translates traditional land measurements into standardized SI units for accurate modern mapping and analysis.

Is the conversion from arpent to square hectometer exact?
No. The size of an arpent varied by region, so the conversion value is an approximate average.

Key Terminology

Arpent
A historical French unit of area used for land measurement, varying regionally but roughly equal to 0.34 hectare.
Square Hectometer [hm²]
An SI-derived unit of area equal to one hectare or 10,000 square meters, representing a square of 100 meters per side.
Cadastral Surveying
The process of mapping and recording land boundaries and property ownership, important for land management and legal purposes.
