1940s

Proved places a theorem in the year its proof was actually finished. Wikipedia records that "after 358 years of effort by mathematicians, the first successful proof was released in 1994 by Andrew Wiles and formally published in 1995." Browsing by proved year shows how long a stated theorem can wait before a genuine proof arrives.
