Yes, Virginia was known for growing indigo during the colonial period, particularly in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Indigo, a blue dye derived from the plant Indigofera tinctoria, became a significant cash crop alongside tobacco. However, its prominence declined as other regions, particularly South Carolina, developed larger-scale indigo production. While Virginia's indigo production played a role in its agricultural history, it was not as dominant as tobacco.
