They really aren't that similar.
Amateur/Olympic wrestling, and the folk-styles of several cultures, tends to emphasize a victory condition based on throwing or pinning, and doesn't utilize strikes. Most wrestling styles have rules against grabbing the opponent's clothing, though there are some exceptions (Glima, Sumo, Cornish wrestling, etc).
Classic Jujitsu was the unarmed fighting techniques derived from the samurai. They were meant to augment armed, armored fighting techniques in battle. As such, classic Jujitsu tends to include strikes and joint locks/breaks, in addition to throws. Brazilian Jiujitsu (BJJ) is a distant derivative of these fighting techniques that emphasizes ground fighting and joint locks and chokes. Locks and chokes, as well as strikes, are generally banned from most wrestling styles. Jujitsu (both classical and the Brazilian derivative) also places a fair degree of emphasis on grabbing the opponent's clothing for the purposes of executing techniques. While some Jujitsu formats have a competitive outlet (BJJ among them), most place a heavy emphasis on self-defense and train often in attack-response fashion, as opposed to wrestling, which tends to emphasize competition, and is more free-wheeling with it's curriculum.
Various forms of wrestling are very old indeed, going well back to the dawn of civilizations. Seems to be a natural part of human activity...Test of manliness that usually doesn't hurt the other party.
Jujitsu is a system put together during the feudal period in Japan. It's original intent was to allow a Samurai who had lost his weapon or broke it to continue the fight by grappling the other warrior to the ground and stabbing him with the dagger.
Over centuries, this developed into a grappling art all on it's own, to be used in the rare occasions when a Samurai might not have a weapon, such as being in the Daimyo's court.
After the Samurai period, in the late 1800s, this was further refined for use by police forces who found the techniques useful for subduing criminals, and also for self-defense.
By the 20 and 30s, many Asian police forces had refined these techniques to a large degree.
The modern jujitsu systems, like Brazilian Ju Jitsu, derive from these ancient roots, but are geared more to competition.
