The language was designed by Dahl, Myhrhaug and Nygaard at the Norwegian Computing Center, Oslo and the first version of the language, Simula-1, described in 1966, was strictly a Simulation language (like GPSS).
In addition to leading to modern Simula, Simula 67 was an inspiration to the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) group who developed Smalltalk and to Bjarne Stroustrop in his development of C++.

In procedural languages, OOP often appears as a form where data types are extended to behave like a type of an object in OOP, very similar to an abstract data type with an extension such as inheritance.
In recent years, object-based programming has become especially popular in scripting programming languages, with abstraction, encapsulation, reusability, and ease of use being the most commonly cited reasons, (the value of inheritance in these languages is often questioned).
Object-oriented programming developed as the dominant programming methodology during the mid-1980s, largely due to the influence of C++, an extension of the C programming language.

An object-oriented programming language is one that allows or encourages, to some degree, object-oriented programming methods.
Though Simula (1967), a language created for making simulation programs, was probably the first language to have the primary features of an object-oriented language, Smalltalk is arguably the canonical example, and the one with which much of the theory of object-oriented programming was developed.
Some languages include abstract data type support, but not all of the features of object orientation (eg, Modula-2 which provided excellent encapsulation and information hiding).

 Object Oriented Programming | OOP | Free Java Tutorials & Guide
The Simula programming language was the first to introduce the concepts underlying object-oriented programming (objects, classes, subclasses, virtual methods, coroutines, garbage collection and discrete event simulation) as a superset of Algol.
Object-oriented programming may be seen as a collection of cooperating objects, as opposed to a traditional view in which a program may be seen as a list of instructions to the computer.
The Smalltalk language, which was developed in the 1970s, introduced the term Object-oriented programming to represent the pervasive use of objects and messages as the basis for computation.

The SIMULA programming language was designed and built by Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard at the Norwegian Computing Center (NCC) in Olslo between 1962 and 1967.
It was originally designed and implemented as a language for discrete event simulation, but was later expended and reimplemented as a full sacle general purpose programming language.
Although SIMULA is an extension of the programming language ALGOL 60, it is not a true extension of it.

 How Object-Oriented Programming Started
Simula 67 introduced most of the key concepts of object-oriented programming: both objects and classes, subclasses (usually referred to as inheritance) and virtual procedures, combined with safe referencing and mechanisms for bringing into a program collections of program structures described under a common class heading (prefixed blocks).
SIMULA I quickly got a reputation as a simulation programming language, but turned out in addition to posess interesting properties as a general programming language.
Simula 67 still is being used many places around the world, but its main impact has been through introducing one of the main categories of programming, more generally labelled object-oriented programming.

 Compiling SIMULA
During the 1960s, the call for a more concerted effort in programming language design grew stronger, and one solution that more and more language developers found promising was the general-purpose language, the programming language that was so general in nature that it could be used for all conceivable purposes.
They envisioned at the time that only a few of the many programming languages developed in the 1960s would still be in use by 1980 and if SIMULA was to become one of these, it was essential that implementations of the language were available on the important mainframes.
In SIMULA this sequencing was determined by the Hold statement, in addition to local reference variables in each inactive process, identifying where the control should resume operation the next time the process was activated.

 COMPILING SIMULA
The SIMULA programming language was designed and built by Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard at the Norwegian Computing Centre (NCC) in Oslo between 1962 and 1967.1 It was originally designed and implemented as a language for discrete event simulation, but was later expanded and reimplemented as a full scale general purpose programming language.
SIMULA' SIMUlation LAnguage' represents an effort to meet this need with regard to discrete-event networks, that is, where the flow may be thought of as being composed of discrete units demanding service at discrete service elements, and entering and leaving the elements at definite moments [sic] of time.
The elegant and powerful concepts of this language appealed to Dahl and Nygaard and made it, in their opinion, the perfect match for SIMULA.9 The crucial decision of linking SIMULA to ALGOL 60 was made during the spring of 1962, and would later prove to be both an enormous strength and a serious obstacle.
