Archaeological evidence suggests squash may have been first cultivated in Mesoamerica some 8,000 to 10,000 years ago,and may have been independently cultivated elsewhere at a later date.Squash was one of the "Three Sisters" planted by Native Americans. The Three Sisters were the three main native crop plants: maize (corn), beans, and squash. These were usually planted together, with the cornstalk providing support for the climbing beans, and shade for the squash. The squash vines provided ground cover to limit weeds. Weeds can be detrimental to the growing conditions of the squash. The beans provided nitrogen fixing for all three crops.
