There doesn't seem to be any locality bandwagon with indigos. Since Eastern and Texas Indigos aren't legally collected anymore, and haven't been for some time, the captive populations are all from stock that was collected before anyone paid any attention to a specific site they came from.

Some guesses can be made from appearance. As I understand it, Eatern indigos from Northern Parts of their range are more likely to have more red on the chins. Those from the southern are more likely to be all black. This could be totally wrong though. Texas Indigos vary widely throughout their range.

I also would be really suspicious of anyone claiming locality knowledge of their indigos unless they have been breeding indigos for a LONG time.

Just some thoughts.
