In verse 1:1, Isaiah introduces himself as the son of Amoz and says that he is writing about events in Judah and Jerusalem during the reigns of Kings Uzziah (Azariah), Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah. Of course, he does not say his witness includes the entire reign of Uzziah, but even the reigns of just Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah spanned 55 years and Isaiah was a prophet in Judah for at least 40 of those years, during the late eighth and early seventh centuries BCE.

Isaiah, son of Amoz - also known as First Isaiah - should not be confused with an anonymous prophet now known as Second Isaiah, who lived during the latter part of the Babylonian Exile and was the author of Isaiah chapters 40 to 55, or with Third Isaiah, who lived in Judah some time after the Return from Exile.
