Long before modern humans evolved by watching the "movement" of the sun, moon, and stars. However this became much more important when humans settled down and began farming about 10000 years ago, to better determine the planting and harvest times. These were all easy to observe before electric lighting was developed.

In the middle ages it became more important to correctly determine the hours of the day so that people could attend church prayers and rituals.

In the industrial revolution and especially as shipping and railroads expanded accuracy of measuring time became very important.
