Blueberries are indigenous to North America, and were an important part of the native Americans diet before white settlers arrived.  They were smoke-dried for use in the winter months, and even today these berries continue to be used by native Americans as ceremonial foods.  These berries were not cultivated until the early twenti-eth century, and even today wild varieties abound in Canada and the United States.  The North American continent continues to provide most of the world's blueberries.

Although a close relative to the huckleberry,  the true huckleberries have only ten seeds while blueberries  have many.  Also, the seeds of the huckleberry are  larger and harder than those of the blueberry. 

The tart wild "red hucklebberry" is not a true huckleberry such as grows in the SE United States, but is more closely related to the blueberry. Its common name has led to much confusion.
