Watermelons are thought to be indigious to Africa where they have been found growing wild. In the 1600s there were watermelon growers in Massachusetts and Florida. Watermelons can be grown almost anywhere but do best in humid areas. I have a freind in Montrael who grows watermelons. He uses black plastic on the ground to amplify the suns heat. Watermelons use a huge amount of water and will grow up to a pound a day given the right conditions.

Yes, watermelon grows in the US. Because of it's extended growing season, it grows best in the warm climate states. Florida, the other southern states, and California are all producers of watermelon. Those places where higher rainfall and long hot days are ideal for watermelon production.

Watermelons can be grown on any well-drained soil throughout Georgia but are particularly well adapted to the Coastal Plain soils of South Georgia. Yields of 20,000 to 40,000 pounds per acre are common. More than 35,000 acres of watermelon are produced in Georgia, with more than 25 percent of this produced on plastic mulch.

Mainly in the USA. But they can grow all over the world, except the freezing places like the Arctic or Antarctic. Farmers have sprouted seeds in a wide variety of places.
