Unit History
About miles
The mile has historical roots stretching back to ancient Rome, where it was based on the term 'mille passus' (a thousand paces). Over centuries, it evolved in English-speaking regions and is still common in the United States and some other countries for expressing road distances. Despite global reliance on the metric system, the mile remains a staple in everyday usage in these regions.
About yards
The yard is an old English unit that was eventually standardized in England under various monarchs. Today, it remains part of the US customary and British imperial systems. Though not as widely used as the meter internationally, yards are still frequently referenced in certain sports (like American football) and in casual measurements within the US and UK.
