Plagiarism is an act/crime. It is not a movement, it is not a religion, it is not a political party. Therefore, it cannot be "founded."
The first answerer is right- whoever copied someone else's work and passed it off as his own performed plagiarism. That's cheating.

Wherever someone copied someone else's work. Someone writing on a clay tablet could have copied off of someone else's and taken the credit. Using this logic, you might say that plagiarism was invented wherever writing was.
Same could be said for a culture before writing was invented. I someone told a story, and someone else took credit for it, then that would be plagiarism.
If you do the research on where speech was first created, then THAT will be the answer to your question.
