History
The furlong (from "furrow long") originated in Anglo-saxon england as the length of a furrow in a plowed field, or the distance a team of oxen could plow without resting. The chain was introduced by English mathematician edmund gunter in the early 17th century as a practical surveying tool. Gunter's chain, as it was known, was 66 feet long with 100 links. These units became important in land measurement and agriculture. The relationship between furlongs and chains (10 chains = 1 furlong) made them convenient for surveying and describing land areas. While both units are now mostly obsolete in everyday use, they remain important in specific contexts such as horse racing (furlongs) and land surveying in countries that maintain imperial measurements.
