The metric system was implemented in France in 1799, and the meter was made the base unit of length. However, meter was not suitable for all purposes of length measurement, for example, to measure long distances. A unit called the myriameter was popular to represent 10000 meters until 1867. The Netherlands made the term kilometer official to represent 1000 meters in 1867. In 1935, the CIPM (International Committee for Weights and Measures) abolished the prefix “myria”, which gave broader recognition to the kilometer as the unit of length for measurements of similar extent as myriameter.
The most common use of the kilometer is to measure distances between geographical places, lengths of the racing tracks, etc. It is used in combination with other units to calculate the fuel efficiency (kilometers per liter), speed (kilometers per hour), etc.
