It goes back to the Big Bang. The Big Bang sent stuff flying around in all directions, because of gravity stuff started to get attracted to each other and because they were moving so fast, there was nothing to stop them so instead of colliding and stopping they started colliding and spinning, and since there is nothing stoping they kept rotating.
