Unit Definition (virgate)
The virgate is an old English unit of land area equal to 1/4 hide. This is roughly 30 acres or 12 hectares. The virgate was also called the yardland or yard of land.

Unit Definition (cuerda)
The Cuerda is a traditional unit of land area in Puerto Rico. The cuerda is equal to about 3930 square meters, 4700 square yards, 0.393 hectare, or 0.971 acre. Because the cuerda and the acre are so close to being equal, they are often treated informally as being equal. Mainlanders sometimes call the unit the "Spanish acre."
