Short answer: Since start of mankind
Long answer: As long as the Arabic language, along with its sister languages, Hebrew & Aramaic, have been around, Muslims have been there. 'Muslim' means, in Arabic, a submitter, referring to someone who submits their will to God. Anyone, in Islam, is considered a Muslim if they do this (many Muslims consider Christians and Jews as submitters also). Also, Muslims also consider any Old Testament prophet (Adam, Abraham, Moses, Noah, etc) as a Muslim, since they submitted to God's will and not their own. Usually, Muslims will regard anyone believing in the monotheistic God of Abraham as a Muslim.
So, in essence, Muslims existed before even Islam religion per Quran revelation to prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel that started in year 610 AD through year 632 AD (year of prophet Muhammad PBUH death)
