This is what I found on the net....
Origin
It is sometimes asserted that DST was first proposed by Benjamin Franklin
in a letter to the editors of the Journal of Paris [1]. However, the
article was humorous; Franklin was not proposing DST, but rather that
people should get up and go to bed earlier.
It was first seriously proposed by William Willett in the "Waste of
Daylight" [2], published in 1907, but he was unable to get the British
government to adopt it despite considerable lobbying.
