United States
Marigold flowers, specifically Tagetes erecta and Tagetes patula, are native to the Americas, ranging from Arizona to Argentina. Though native, they traveled back to the U.S. in the 18th/19th century via Europe and Africa, where Spanish explorers brought seeds in the 1500s. They became popular American garden staples after being cultivated and sent back.
