Chicory is a wild-flower that was not originally native to North America. It was brought over from Europe, probably in the 1700s or late 1600s.

The Chicory plant was associated with the sky in some tribes (due to its sky-blue color), and Chicory roots were used as a medicine herb among eastern tribes.
