Ton (square measure)
The bin is an outdated measure of area . Until well into the second half of the 19th century, a ton meant completely different area sizes between 4,000 square meters and 9,500 square meters, depending on the region. It was not until 1870 that standardization became established: one ton was fixed at 5,000 square meters.
