I'm not sure who made it up, but the original idea was the farmers wouldn't have to milk the cows by candle light in the mornings.

Benjamin Franklin was the first to suggest it, because it changed the times to maximize the amount of hours spend awake in daylight. It was adopted in the United States in 1918.
