Where did the custom of wearing ties with a suit come from?

What country?

What year?

I was wondering why a tie is considered essential with a suit and where did the practice originate?

Here is a humor I read once about wearing a tie.
"""Everyone knows why we wear a hat, to protect the head. Everyone knows why we wear a coat, to keep body warm. So, there is an answer to everything, for wearing shirt, pants, shoes, gloves, and so on. Nobody has an answer why a tie is worn. So, a research team started working on that. They took a whole year, still no answer. But, to the surprise of the research team leader, the youngest member of the team came up one day, and annouced that he has found the answer. The team got so excited about it. So, they started shouted 'ok, come on, come on, what is the answer?'. So, the youngest member said, the purpose and answer is to scare people away. It is a sign board which says 'I AM WEARING A TIE GUYS, SO BE CAREFUL AND GET OUT OF MY WAY'. Ha ha ha! """
