The historical record shows that O.K. appeared as an abbreviation for "oll korrect" (a conscious misspelling of "all correct") in Boston newspapers in 1839, and was reinterpreted as "Old Kinderhook" in the 1840 United States presidential election

OK is short for "oll korrect" and started being used until the mid-1800's. I guess it was a popular thing to abbreviate words back then, firstly it was abbreviated to Okay and then OK.
Okay means alright! (originally 'all correct')

OK means that you're fine with whatever the second person say or do, I guess.
