The mid-1600s. There is not an exact year because it evolved slowly with founder George Fox's beliefs developing in his early 20s, and then his preaching those beliefs. As the group formed, they were first called 'Friends of Truth' and later simply 'Friends'. Some time after 1650 during one of Fox's court appearances, the judge sarcastically called him a "Quaker" which is the origin of the name.
So if we go by when Fox first developed his beliefs, it would be 1647. If we go by when the congregations were first founded it would be 1660 (though the group existed prior to that). So it's most accurate to simply say the mid 1600s.
