The Order of St John is widely believed to have been started in the year 1080 in Jerusalem. This was during the First Crusade where St John members were known as the Knights Hospitallers (or Knights of St John). The Order of knights worked closely with the Knights Templar and provided assistance to injured soldiers and pilgrims during the Holy Wars.
The Order of St John was later sanctioned by Her Majesty Queen Victoria and made a Royal Order of Chivalry with a Royal Charter. Even today, the Order of St John is one of the oldest and most well known organisations around the world.

Where did st john ambulance start?
St John Ambulance as an ambulance association is reletively modern. The history of St John goes back over 900 years ago. In Jerusalem, there was a major lack of health care. Because of this, the hospitallers of st john set up health care which currently stands today as an opthalmic hospital. These hospitallers then went around with the crusaders and provided their services to the holy lands that were set up by the crusaders. The crusades then moved to Malta and Rhodes which meant that the hospitallers were needed in those places to help the sick and injured pilgrims and crusaders. In 1306, the crusaders set up a headquarters and a hospital for the hospitallers to work in. Because of this relation with Malta, the logo of st john is the 8 pointed Malta cross. The order spread across all christian lands including England. However, the order was banned by Henry the eighth. St John was reinstated as there was a lack of medical care and transport. It was used heavilly in all of the wars to provide front line medical care to soldiers. They worked closely with the british red cross. As the work of St John became more developed, the Order of St John was re named as St John Ambulance that we see today. That's the history in a nutshell. More information can be found on the St John Ambulance website.
