Traditional regional unit.
Hectare
A hectare is a metric unit of area equal to 10,000 square meters, or one square hectometer. It is the most widely used metric unit for land measurement worldwide.
Defined as 100 ares, equal to one square hectometer. The name was introduced in 1795 in France as part of the metric system.
