There has been evidence of veils long before Islam had even started to spread; the verse of the Hijab was revealed in 627 CE:

And when you ask his wives for something, ask them from behind a screen; that is purer for your hearts and their hearts.

This verse was aimed at the Prophet's wives, as the Prophet had many visitors who visited and stayed at his house, and he wanted to protect his wives from strangers.
