It is not known exactly where pumpkins originated from, but it is thought that they originally came from somewhere in North America. The oldest pumpkin seeds were found in Mexico and they have been dated at somewhere between 7000 and 5500 BC.
Pumpkin takes its name from the medieval French word 'pompom', meaning 'cooked by the sun.' (Ultimately, probably from the Greek 'pepon.'). An average pumpkin weighs 10-20 pounds, though some varieties can weigh 600-800 pounds, and recording breaking pumpkins approach 2,000 lbs.
