∙ 8y agoThe name statute mile originates from a Statute of the Parliament of England in 1592 during the reign of Elizabeth I. This defined the statute mile as 5,280 ft or 1,760 yards; or 63,360 inches.
The mile is based on the old Roman unit of distance, that was equal to one thousand, mil, paces (two steps is a pace). Stones were placed every mil along roads to indicate the distance to Rome, thus the term milestones, and the saying "All roads lead to Rome."
