Best Answer

Astronomical light pollution started as street and road lighting became widespread from the early 20th century. It was bad enough by the 1980's for the dark sky movement to gather momentum. Local light pollution, for instance from obtrusive security lights, is a more recent problem, perhaps from about the 1970's.
