History of the Metric System:

In 1975, the government of France officially adopted the metric system of measurement. Gabriel Mouton (a church vicar in Lyons), France, is named as the founding father of the metric system. In 1670, Gabriel did a great job, as he proposed a decimal system of measurement, which the French scientists would spend a couple of years further refining.

In 1790, the National Assembly of France (French: Assemblée nationale) called for an invariable standard of measurements and weights having as its basis a unit of length that depends on the Earth’s circumference. As a convenience, the system of measurements would be decimal-based, along with larger & smaller multiples of each unit that arrived by dividing & multiplying by 10 and its powers.
