They didn’t. Even as late as the 1800’s ice was cut from somewhere cold and transported to where it was in demand.

A guy named Frederic Tudor from Massachusetts made a fortune in the 1800’s cutting up frozen lakes and shipping ice across the globe to places as far as Hong Kong and India. See here:
