Best Answer

Corn originated in South and Middle/Central America with the Incas and the Aztecs. The official name for corn is maize and once grew wild and still does in remote areas. Over many years select pieces of corn were choosen and then cultivated to create better and better corn. Once the Indians began trading northward with other tribes, the crop spread to North America. The name corn is a generic European term for any type of grain but in America we know the name to be the kernals on a cobb.
