The first use of ice was from natural sources. These varied depending on the location. Ice can be obtained from glaciers, or from frozen bodies of water in the winter.

The first refrigerant used to make ice was probably ammonia. Later freon became more popular. Newer, less polluting gases are now used.

In a pinch, say an emergency situation where you have no access to electricity, you can make ice by dissolving ammonia fertilizer in water, and placing fresh water in metal containers, floating on top of the ammonia/water solution. It takes a while, but it can work.
