Some of the "hundreds" continue in use today, especially in Essex (Tendring
Hundred for example). I think the number refers to the number of "hides" in
an area, though I'm unsure as to how big a hide actually was, though again
the term is still in use in some place names such as Piddletrenthide (Dorset
I think: it's full of piddles and puddles, i.e. Tolpuddle)
