That which is formally known as Gardnerian Wicca dates back only to the early 50's, at the earliest. However, Wicca includes so many parts of other things (a hearty helping of Ceremonial Magick is included, for example - Crowley is the best-known promulgator of Ceremonial Magick), that it can claim roots further back, but, yeah, Gerald Gardner, widely considered to be the Father of the Wiccan religion, first outlined it in the mid 20th century.
