The Guntha, also spelled as Gunta, is a traditional land measurement unit predominantly used in the Indian subcontinent, especially in states like Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh, where it equals approximately 1,089 square feet.
In regions like Maharashtra, the Guntha is commonly used to measure smaller land parcels in urban and suburban areas, reflecting its continued relevance in local real estate transactions.
Historically, the Acre was conceptualized as the area a pair of oxen could plow in a single day, leading to its standardized measurement of 43,560 square feet in both the British Imperial and U.S. customary systems.
The term Acre derives from the Old English word "æcer," meaning "field," and has been a fundamental unit of land measurement since at least the 8th century AD.
This value is consistent across most regions where the unit is used.
