Yes, you're correct. Wiki says the first known reference to the Republicans as the "Grand Old Party" came back in the 1800's.

In response to that comment about how the democratic party has been around longer than the "stupid GOP", I think it's only fair to point out that neither party really resembles the party they were in the 1800s. When it was established, the Republican party had an anti-slavery agenda. And I don't think the Democratic Party would have been too enthused to support gay marriage back in those days.
