Originally brass instruments had no valves. As the industrial age came about, improved machining techniques allowed instrument makers to fit brass instruments with valves and develop new brass instruments. Whole new, families of instruments with members of different ranges were developed. The tuba is in the same family as the Trumpet. Other types of brass instruments developed during this time which did not "catch on," such as the Saxhorns and Wagner Tubas which of course had individual members of different ranges - soprano, alto, tenor, bass. Simply put; the tuba was developed to fill out the bottom of the brass section and it was the one that "caught on".
