Best Answer

Yes. Acre come from an old English word meaning 'open field.' Dating back thousands of years when we were all farmers, traditionally the Acre was long and narrow. 1 Furlong long (660 feet [220 yards]) by 1 Chain wide (66 feet). However, since Acres is a measurement of land, there is no particular shape. Furlongs became today as 1/8th of a Mile. 1 square Furlong is 10 Acres, 64 Furlongs to a square Mile, 640 Acres to a square Mile.
