 HISTORY OF
MEASUREMENT
•Years ago people came up with
standard length measures, but
they didn't all agree on one
system.
•The Imperial System was developed over
hundreds of years in the UK, then the
French developed the Metric System
(meters) in 1670, which soon spread
through Europe, even to England itself in
1963. But the USA and a few other
countries still prefer feet and inches.
