It came from a myth. There are different versions of the myth, but basically it is about a race organized by the Jade God where the first 12 animals to win will be included in the zodiac.

The zodiac is very much like horoscopes, they go in a cycle. The 12 animals cronologicaly are mouse(rat), ox(cow), tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, lamb(goat), monkey, chicken, dog, pig(boar).
