I'm pretty sure it was to do with the second world war.... to give the allies more daylight time to get things done.... so I'd guesstimate around 1940s

Benjamin Franklin suggested the method in 1784, but it was first during World War I, in 1916 in several counties in Europe that DST was adopted, although it was proposed several times before, but rejected.
Daylight Saving Time is difficult to predict in future, many countries change the transition days/principles every year because of special happenings or conditions that has happened or will happen.
One example is that United States and Canada will extend Daylight Saving Time from 2007, and probably other regions and countries in Northern America will follow. The new start date will be the second Sunday in March (currently first Sunday in April), to the first Sunday in November (currently last Sunday in October).

The idea of DST was first put into practice by the German government during the First World War, between April 30, 1916 and October 1, 1916.

It was first proposed by Franklin back in the 1700s, but the first time it was put into law was in 1916 in England. The US Congress made it official and standardized it in 1966.
