In the U.S. it was adopted by Congress in the 1918. But the idea had been discussed ("introduced", as you ask) as early as 1895:

"Modern DST was first proposed by the New Zealand entomologist George Vernon Hudson, whose shift-work job gave him leisure time to collect insects, and made him aware of the value of after-hours daylight."

A quick search of "Daylight Saving Time" on Wikipedia would have yielded a much faster, and more direct answer to your question.
