The term box office likely refers to the office where 'boxes', private seating areas, were sold at theatres and its usage derives back to the 1780s. Theatres today still have boxes, and some cinemas and theatres refer to the best seats as box seats.
The term also possibly originates from Shakespearean times, in which boxes would be used to collect a fee. However, due to thieves, the boxes would only contain a small amount of money, and the full boxes would be placed in an office, collectively called a "Box Office".
