FWIW, etc/NEWS.18 has this snippet:
* New startup command line options.
[...]
`-nw' means don't use a window system. If you are using a terminal
emulator on the X window system and you want to run Emacs to work through
the terminal emulator instead of working directly with the window system,
use this switch.
There's no minor version near this announcement, but the surrounding
text indicates that this was introduced in version 18.41. According
to this:
http://www.informatica.co.cr/unix/research/1987/0322.htm
Emacs 18.41 was released in Mar 1987. (I think the first Emacs
version I used was 19.20 or some such.)
