Origin
Prior to 2161, Starfleet was the primary space defense and exploration organization of United Earth in the early-to-mid 22nd century. The primary authority of Starfleet was referred to as either Starfleet Command or the United Earth Space Probe Agency (UESPA), and was located in the city of San Francisco, Earth.

While UESPA already existed in the 2060s according to VOY: “Friendship One”, Starfleet was presumably founded in the mid-2130s, as Jonathan Archer gave some thought to join the Earth Cargo Service a few years before Starfleet was chartered, and 2134 was his senior year in college. Starfleet must have existed in 2136, as Margaret Mullin turned down Archer’s proposal of marriage, since she did not want to become a “Starfleet widow.”
The primary purpose of Starfleet from its infancy was to “…seek out new life and new civilizations,” and “…go boldly where no man has gone before.” (This quote is attributed to Zefram Cochrane, the inventor of warp drive on Earth.)

Some Starfleet personnel worked in conjunction with the United Earth Diplomatic Corps.

In 2153, following a Xindi attack on Earth and numerous firefights that the Enterprise NX-01 had been involved in since its launch in 2151, it was determined that Earth’s vessels would begin to carry detachments of United Earth’s elite military unit, the MACOs, thus taking a step towards the unification of Starfleet and the military – and of the roles of defense and exploration.

One of the primary projects of Starfleet was to develop a viable and fast interstellar engine that would allow Earth to practically cross vast distances in reasonably short time. Despite some allegations of interference – or at least, a refusal of assistance – from the Vulcans, Earth had made notable progress in developing the warp five engine by the 2150s.
