Who established the original definition of a kilometer was 1 10000th of the distance from the equator to the north pole?
Following the French Revolution, the French Academy of Sciences appointed a commission with the development of what was later to become the SI system (System Internationale) of measurement. In March 1791 the commission advised the Academy to adopt the term "mètre" as the basic unit of length. This was to be defined as equal to one ten-millionth of the distance between the North Pole and the Equator and in 1793, the French National Convention adopted the proposal.This required a more accurate measurements of the meridional distance. The French Academy of Sciences commissioned an expedition led by Jean Baptiste Joseph Delambre and Pierre Méchain, lasting from 1792 to 1799, which attempted to accurately measure the distance between a belfry in Dunkerque and Montjuïc castle in Barcelona to estimate the length of the meridian arc through Dunkerque. This was to form the basis of the measure.
