Ice in the early 1800s was actually harvested during the winter from frozen lakes. When the ice was thick enough to support horses and equipment, snow was repeatedly cleared away to help encourage the formation of stackable thicker blocks. Once the ice was thick enough, the field was deeply scored by a horse-drawn marker. Finally the blocks were cut by hand with large-toothed one-man saws and then floated to nearby ice houses for stacking or to a railroad loading ramp for shipping.
Some ice houses were a barn within a barn with 3 feet of hay and sawdust between the inner and out walls. :)
In America back then they would cut ice in the Winter in places like Michigan and latitudes there and above. The ice was stored in well insulated buildings. The insulation they used was saw dust. (an excellent insulator yet highly flammable. many ice houses burned down because of people smoking inside them on hot Summer days and failing to extinguish when finished) The ice would last all through the Summer.
Yeah, since the ice age.

An ice chest in the 1800s contained what we would now put in a refigerator. A freezer in the 1800s is still calledl a freezer.

In the 1800s, much of it from Massachusetts ponds. See the link, and Frozen Water Trade by Gavin Weightman.
