If 1 Arroba was 25lbs, wouldn't a closer metricization be 10 kilos? This would be ~22lbs. Was there some other history to make this significant of a change?

- soneca 12y agoWell, there were other arbitrary changes along the way. I think the wikipedia article deals with it. By the time someone changed it to kg, wasn't even 25lbs anymore. Who knows who decided it would be 15kg - but that is kind the point of the oddities when change measurement systems.
