You mean where it comes from?
Well, it all starts at the sub-atomic level, with protons, electrons, and quarks, also some particles like ions. If you want to understand in full why those particles are 'charged', then you need to learn about Quantum Electrodynamics - not something we can teach on yahoo answers - and yes, charges were set at the beggining of time.
Electrons have a charge of -1, protons of +1, and quarks of -1/3, or +2/3. Different sign charges attrack each other in order to reach equilibrium.

If you mean electrostatic charge then all charges were set at the beginning of time, shortly after what is referred to as the Big Bang.

When ever we rubbed things like fur against certain sticks, rocks or amber we would feel a shock from static electricity. This was known since before the beginning of electricity.

Electrons and protons are two fundamental particles that have charge. It is a property, like mass, of these particles.

An electrical differential.
Where everything is the same, there can be no charge.
