I recently read a news article about this year's peach harvest in Colorado which mentions:

> Peaches originated in China, but their history in Colorado goes back to the 1600s, when Navajo and Puebloan cultures began planting peach trees.

But it provides no sources or details beyond that. I found an article in Nature (The initial spread of peaches across eastern North America was structured by Indigenous communities and ecologies but it doesn't talk about how peaches made it west of the continental divide.
