The first meter stick was officially defined and standardized in France during the French Revolution in the late 18th century. The meter was initially based on a specific length of a meridian arc, but the first physical meter stick was created in 1799 and was made of platinum. This standard was established to provide a consistent measurement system, and the original meter stick is now housed in the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) in Sèvres, France.
