Summer squash originates from the Americas, specifically Central and South America, where it was first domesticated by indigenous peoples over 5,000 years ago. It is part of the Cucurbitaceae family, which includes other squashes and gourds. The cultivation of summer squash spread northward to North America and was later introduced to Europe following the Columbian Exchange. Varieties like zucchini and yellow squash are now popular worldwide.
