Squash Boston Marrow (Cucurbita maxima)

This squash is possibly of prehistoric origin, but the documentation concerning it goes back 200 years. This squash is native to the upstate region of New York and would come from the Native Americans who would have given it to the settlers. The seeds were then taken to Salem, Massachusetts in 1831, where it was later popularized by Mr. J. M. Ives. It was widely used in New England as a pie squash and was prized for its fine-textured flesh. It became very popular throughout the eastern United States, since in addition to being tasty and productive, it had a good storage capacity until the following spring.
