Corn was originally domesticated by indigenous peoples in Mesoamerica thousands of years ago. When European settlers arrived in the Americas, they adopted corn cultivation practices from Native Americans, who had been growing various types of corn for food. Over time, corn became a staple crop on farms run by Americans, contributing significantly to agriculture and the economy. Today, it remains one of the most widely cultivated crops in the United States.
