Furlong (fur) - traditional length unit
Furlong is an Imperial/US customary unit historically used in surveying and still common in horse racing. Used as one-eighth of a mile and equal to ten chains.

- System: Imperial/US customary
- Exact relations: 1 fur = 220 yd = 660 ft = 10 chains = 40 rods = 1/8 mi
- Metric equivalents: 1 fur = 201.168 m = 0.201168 km (exact)
- Typical examples: flat horse races (e.g., 5f, 6f, 7f); historical field/survey lengths
League - traditional distance unit
League is a historical unit of length with region-dependent values, commonly taken as about three miles on land; a nautical league is standardized as three nautical miles. Used historically in European surveying, travel descriptions, and maritime contexts
- Symbol: none standardized
- System: Historical (European/Imperial/Maritime)
- Common relations (land): 1 league ≈ 3 statute miles ≈ 4.828 km (English/US usage); varied by country (e.g., French/Spanish leagues ranged ~4–7 km)
- Nautical league (standardized): 1 nautical league = 3 nmi = 3 × 1,852 m = 5,556 m (exact) ≈ 5.556 km
- Typical examples: literary distances (“several leagues”); maritime references (e.g., coastal limits expressed in nautical leagues)
