According to Wikipedia's article on "Running Mates", presidential running mates began around 1860. FYI: Originally the second choice presidential candidate became vice president. In 1804 Pres/Vice pres began running on separate ballots.

When did the political parties start selecting runningmates?

It's a little different: the political parties used to nominate vice presidents by separate voting procedures during the Parties' national conventions in the election years. Gradually and starting in the 20th century, Presidential candidates (who had always had some influence on the earlier vice-presidential election processes) became the major players in deciding who should be voted vice-President. The first to simply name a running mate even before the Party Convention started was Ronald Reagan in his (then unsuccesful) bid for the Republican nomination in 1976.
