What is a statute league?

A statute league is a historical length unit equal to three statute miles, used mainly in English-speaking countries for overland and coastal distance descriptions.

Why would I convert meters to statute leagues?

This conversion helps interpret distances in historical maps, legal land descriptions, or old travel records where leagues were commonly used.

Can I use statute leagues for modern scientific measurements?

No, statute leagues are obsolete and approximate, so they are not recommended for precise modern scientific or engineering uses.
