The avocado is one of the oldest cultivated fruits in the Americas, with a history spanning more than 9,000 years
Archaeological evidence suggests that avocados were consumed as early as 8,000–10,000 years ago in central Mexico.
On May 15, 1915, the newly formed California Avocado Association voted to adopt "avocado" as the official commercial name.
In the 1920s when Rudolph Hass, a California mail carrier and amateur horticulturist, planted avocado seedlings on his property. One particular tree produced fruit with a pebbly black skin and exceptionally creamy flesh.
In 1935, Rudolph Hass patented the tree, making it the first patented fruit tree in the United States. Nearly all Hass avocados grown worldwide today are descendants of that original tree.
