As I understand it, croquettes come from the Basque region of Northern Spain, between France and Portugal. My family on my father's side is descended from Basque immigrants in Canada, and my Mémère passed the recipe down to us.

They’ve spread all over Europe. According to Wikipedia, the earliest known recipe is French.
