What are Chain and Plaza

In surveying, a chain is a unit of length equaling 66 feet, or 22 yards. It is subdivided into 100 links or 4 rods. Historically, it was used for land measurement in the British Imperial system. One chain by one furlong (10 chains) makes an acre. The chain was commonly used in the United States and the United Kingdom and is still utilized in the UK for measuring railway lines and in some agricultural communities.

A plaza can refer to an open public space, such as a city square or market square, often surrounded by buildings and streets. The term is used across many cultures and is known as 'plaza' in Spanish-speaking countries and 'piazza' in Italian. The size of a plaza varies greatly and can range from a small park to a large, central square. The definition of a plaza is not standardized in terms of measurement and can differ from one city to another.
