About Homesteads
A homestead is a land area unit of exactly 160 acres (approximately 64.75 hectares or 0.6475 km²) - one quarter of a one-square-mile section - established by the US Homestead Act of 1862. The Act promised 160 acres to settlers willing to farm the land for five years, transforming the American West: over 270 million acres (about 10% of the entire continental US) were granted to 1.6 million homesteaders. In the US Public Land Survey System, one homestead equals a quarter-section, with four homesteads forming one full section of 640 acres.
About Mu
The mu (亩, also written mǔ) is China's traditional unit of agricultural land area, equal to 1/15 hectare or approximately 666.67 m². It has been the standard land measurement in China for over two thousand years. China's total farmland is reported in hundreds of millions of mu, and rural property records across China use mu as the primary unit. One hectare equals exactly 15 mu. One mu equals approximately 0.165 acres or about 797 square yards.
