Perche2 / Canton Units Definition
Square perche
A square perch (often shortened to just a perch) is a unit of measurement and is equal to 25.29285264 square metres. Confusingly, a perch (not the squared
variety) is also called a rod or pole because it’s based on a surveyor’s tool
measuring exactly 5½ yards or 16½ feet or ¼ of a surveyor’s chain. The perch or rod was helpful tool and measurement for a surveyor because it could be used to create a ‘perfect’ acre of 40 perches by 4 perches – remember 160 perches equals an acre.
Canton
A canton is a type of administrative division of a country. In general, cantons are relatively small in terms of area and population when compared with other administrative divisions such as counties, departments, or provinces. Internationally, the most politically important cantons are the Swiss cantons. As the constituents of the Swiss Confederation, theoretically and historically, they are semi-sovereign states.
