The inch is a unit of length in the British imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. It is defined as exactly 1/12 of a foot or 2.54 centimeters.

History of the Mile and Inch

The mile originated from the Roman "mille passus", meaning "thousand paces" (where a pace was two steps). Its length varied considerably until Queen Elizabeth I of England standardized it as 5,280 feet in 1593. The international mile agreement of 1959 confirmed its definition based on the metric system.

The inch has ancient origins, historically related to the width of a thumb or the length of three barleycorns laid end-to-end. Its definition was standardized internationally in 1959 based on the metric system (1 inch = 2.54 cm exactly).
