What is Miles?

Miles (mi) is a unit of length. The mile is a unit of length equal to exactly 1,609.344 meters. It is defined internationally based on the statute mile standard agreed upon by the United States and countries using Imperial units [bipm-si-brochure]. The mile is used primarily for measuring distances on land and in navigation. The mile traces back to Roman times, originally defined as 1,000 paces. The modern statute mile was standardized in 1593 by an English Act of Parliament and internationally fixed in 1959 to 1,609.344 meters to unify measurements [bipm-si-brochure]. Miles remain official units of length in the United States, United Kingdom, and some Caribbean countries.

It originated as a measure of distance in agriculture and horse racing and is defined by exactly 40 rods or poles. Furlongs are not part of the SI but remain recognized in some traditional contexts [iso-80000]. The furlong dates back to medieval England and was standardized as the length of a furrow in a common field, approximately 660 feet. It was formalized by British standards and has persisted primarily in horse racing and land measurement [iso-80000]. Furlongs are still used in the United Kingdom and the United States for horse racing distances and occasionally in surveying. Their use is limited outside these contexts due to the global adoption of metric units [nist-si-guide].
