Woad was an important source of blue dye and was cultivated throughout Europe, especially in Western and Southern Europe. In medieval times, there were important woad-growing regions in England, Germany and France. Towns such as Toulouse became prosperous from the woad trade. Over time, woad's cultivation spread across Europe, where it was an important trade good. From the 16th century, indigo (Indigofera tinctoria), a plant from Subsaharan Africa and South and Southeast Asia, started to replace it. In the early 20th century, both woad and Indigofera tinctoria were mostly replaced by synthetic blue dyes, though there has also been some revival of the use of woad for craft purposes.
