The term has been used since colonial times. The first president to use it in his addresses to the nation is George Washinton. Here's a link:

You can also check out a book written by Michael Waldman titled "My Fellow Americans", it's about the most important speeches by all our presidents. Here is a link:

Hope this helps
By the way to the first poster: It wasn't Abe Lincoln that said "ask not what you can do for your country..." it was John F. Kennedy.
