Did they call it that? There were IDEs of sort long before Delphi (staying with the Pascal family, even pre-Delphi Turbo Pascal sort of fits - letting you compile and run straight from the editor well back into the 80s), but most were not called an IDE.

The IDE term already pops up on Xerox PARC documentation.

You just need to dive into the Xerox Development Environment papers and documentation for the Alto (1977).
