Not sure of the origin of acre but I believe a section (one square mile) is 625 acres, so 25 acres on the edge of a square mile. Sounds about right since an acre is a square roughly 208 feet long on each side. 208 x 25 = 5200.
I had a hard time getting the button to chose country to work but eventually pressed "English." I got hectares.

Closer still.
A township = 36 square miles (or sections), a square mile = 1 section = 640 acres. Thus, an acre is about 43k ft^2 or 209 ft on a square side. Whodafuk thought that was a good idea, I don't know.
A hectare is 100 m on a side resulting in 10,000 m^2 or about 2.5 acres.
Anybody for a BTU?
