That is lost in history. The Catholic Encyclopedia of 1912 mentions that the Feast of the Assumption on 15 August was one of the principal feasts in Rome as of A.D. 700 and that it has always been a "Double of the First Class" (the old ranking of feasts - this was the highest possible rank) and always a Holy Day of Obligation.
