Llamas are initially from the central plains of North America, but the modern Llama is more foreign to North America, and they were introduced in the late 1800s.
In the 1930s foot and mouth disease broke out in South America, so they stopped importing Llamas but in 1984 the ban was removed, and they continued to import them.
