Alpacas are from South America
Alpacas are naturally found in the wild in South America, especially in Peru. Alpacas have been domesticated and are in farms across the United States as well.
The Peruvians domesticated the dog, guinea pig, and the fowl which they had for food. As well as the llama, alpaca, guanaco, and the vicuña.
In Spanish, "alpaca" refers to the same animal as in English, which is a domesticated camelid native to South America, primarily found in Peru and Bolivia. The term can also refer to the soft wool produced by the alpaca, which is highly valued for its warmth and quality. Additionally, "alpaca" can signify a type of fabric made from this wool.

Titus Salt discovered alpaca wool during his travels to South America in the mid-19th century. He encountered the alpaca, a domesticated animal native to the Andes, and was impressed by the softness, warmth, and durability of its fleece. Recognizing its potential for the textile industry, he began importing alpaca wool to England, where he eventually established a successful textile mill in Saltaire, which specialized in producing high-quality alpaca fabrics.
The first known use of the word "alpaca" in English dates back to the early 19th century, specifically around 1801. It is derived from the Spanish word "alpaca," which refers to the domesticated South American camelid. The term was introduced in the context of describing the animal and its valuable wool.
