History of the Gallon
The US gallon descends from the English wine gallon of 231 cubic inches, a standard used for measuring wine in medieval and early modern England, which the American colonies inherited and retained even after England moved to a different imperial gallon in 1824.
England's 1824 Weights and Measures Act replaced the old wine gallon with a new imperial gallon (based on 10 pounds of water), but the US kept the older 231-cubic-inch definition — which is why the US gallon (3.785 L) and the imperial gallon (4.546 L) differ by about 20% today.
Historical origin. Gallon was not the invention of a single named person; it developed through the process described above.
