Before Krypton's destruction, Kara's father Zor-El constructed a rocket large enough to hold his entire family. The escape Krypton's doom in the rocket, while Jor-El and his family survive in the domed Argo City. Zor-El and his family land on Earth and become Smallville farmers. Accidental exposure to Gold Kryptonite removes the super-powers of Zor-El and his wife, but Kara retains her powers and becomes Supergirl.
