The first mention of matzo is in the story of the Old Testament, during the Exodus from Egypt (Exodus 12:39). With Pharoah and his army in pursuit the Israelites didn't have enough time to let their bread rise, so they rushed out with flat, unleavened bread. In addition, it is referred to elsewhere as "poor man's bread," or a reminder of how they ate in Egypt; this implies that it was in fact part of a slave diet as well.
There are many estimates as to the date of the Exodus; the most popular is around 1440 B.C.
Correction: The first mention is in Genesis 19:3. Lot baked matzoh for his guests, the angels, who came to rescue his family from Sodom. Matzoh was a flat bread baked without leavening and can be baked very quickly since it doesn't need time to rise.
Matzo has always been made with holes, to prevent it rising.
