Unit Definition (league [UK])
The league became a common unit of measurement throughout western Europe, although its length varied greatly from region to region. It was originally intended to represent the distance a person could walk in an hour. In many cases it was equal to 3 miles, (note that the definition of a mile also varied from region to region). At sea, the league was often equal to 3 nautical miles, which is 1/20 degree or 5556 meters (metres). In the USA and Great Britain, the league is defined to be 3 statute miles on land, or 3 nautical miles at sea.

Unit Definition (cuadra [Argentina])
In Argentina and Chile, the cuadra is equal to 150 varas (roughly 130 meters or 410 feet). Elsewhere in south and central america, the cuadra is equal to 100 varas.
