1 gram is 1/1000 of a kilogram, which is defined as the weight of a piece of metal stored in France, with copies in various countries including the US.

Originally 1 gram was the weight of 1 cubic centimeter of water, hence 1 kilogram was the weight of 1 liter of water. However that was found to be not accurate enough for scientists and the standard lump of metal was introduced instead.
