section

Read a random definition: retractus feudalis

A quick definition of section:

A section is a part of a written document, like a law or contract. It is marked with the symbol § or the abbreviation "sec." A section of land is a piece of land that is one square mile, or 640 acres. This is how public lands in the United States were traditionally divided. A half section is 320 acres, and a quarter section is 160 acres. A quarter section was usually given to homesteaders in the past.

A more thorough explanation:

A section is a part or division of a written document, especially a legal one. It is abbreviated as §, sec., or s.

In real estate, a section refers to a piece of land that contains 640 acres or one square mile. In the United States, public lands were traditionally divided into 640-acre squares, each called a section of land.

There are also smaller divisions of a section:

  • Half section: A piece of land containing 320 acres, laid off either by a north-south or by an east-west line.
  • Quarter section: A piece of land containing 160 acres, laid off by a north-south or east-west line.

For example, if a farmer owns a quarter section of land, they own 160 acres of land. This is important in real estate and agriculture because it helps to define property boundaries and determine land values.
