Best Answer

tarragon is native to Southern Russia and Western Asia. Unlike many other herbs, was not used by ancient peoples. It was mentioned briefly in medieval writings as a pharmaceutical, but did not come into common use until the 16th century in England. It was brought to the United States in the early 19th century. http://www.culinarycafe.com/Spices_Herbs/Tarragon.html
