About Furlong (fur)
Equal to 220 yards (201.168 meters), the furlong originated as the length of a furrow in a plowed field -- literally a 'furrow long.' Today it survives primarily in horse racing, where track distances are measured in furlongs. A standard horse racing furlong post marks each eighth of a mile around the track.
About League (lea)
Historically the distance a person could walk in one hour, the league has varied considerably across cultures but is most commonly taken as 3 statute miles (4.828 km). Jules Verne's '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea' refers to the distance traveled, not depth -- 20,000 leagues equals roughly 80,000 km, or twice around the Earth.
