Ubuntu created upstart around the same time systemd was created, both meant to replace the classic init system. Debian voted to adopt systemd as their new init system instead of upstart, and so now ubuntu, because of it's debian dependencies, will be dropping upstart and moving to systemd as well.

Upstart predates systemd by over four years. I just checked the initial release dates on Wikipedia to confirm.
