The peach is a deciduous tree that is native to the region of Northwest China between the Tarim Basin and the north slopes of the Kunlun Shan mountains, where it was first domesticated and cultivated. It bears an edible juicy fruit called a peach or a nectarine. Peaches were brought to the Americas by Spanish explorers in the 16th century, and eventually made its way to England and France in the 17th century, where it was a prized and expensive treat. The horticulturist George Minifie supposedly brought the first peaches from England to its North American colonies in the early 17th century, planting them at his Estate of Buckland in Virginia. Although Thomas Jefferson had peach trees at Monticello, United States farmers did not begin any commercial production until the 19th century in Maryland, Delaware, Georgia and finally Virginia.

In the United States, additional varieties of cobbler include the Apple pan dowdy which is an apple cobbler whose crust has been broken and stirred back into the filling, the Betty, the buckle that is made with yellow batter similar to cake batter, with the filling mixed in with the batter, the dump (or dump cake, the grump, the slump, and the sonker. The sonker is unique to North Carolina, it is a deep-dish version of the American cobbler.
