In the first listing of metric units in the U.S., the hectare, are, and
centare (no "i") were listed with their equivalents in acres, square
yards, and square inches, respectively. That was in the Metric Act of
1866 act. See the section "Measures of Surface" at

One property seems to be made up of numerous small pieces of land, the sheet
has the area of each piece listed in 3 columns, ha, a and ca. One piece will be
1 54 80 (in 3 columns), which as you say is probably 15 480 m2. I did meet a

so I don't know whether you keep or drop the "i", centares?

I'm looking at buying a piece of property in France. I notice on the documents
that they list the area as Hectares (ha) ares (a) and ca which I'm thinking are
centiare? Anyone on this list have any idea if this is correct.
On another note, I'm looking for someone to translate a 15 page document
I only sampled a few courses from this Canadian guide, but they were all yards:
