Hams come from the back leg of the hog, also called the ham primal. There are multiple muscles in this primal, but the three that contribute the most weight to a ham are the biceps femoris, semitendinosus and the semimembranosus.
Historians credit the Chinese with inventing the ham based on a written reference to a cured pork leg dated in 4900 B.C.
