@ruawhitepaw
Some sources I found:

https://www.kyocera-avx.com/docs/techinfo/Connectors/The-History-of-Insulation-Displacement-Technology.pdf

Sates that in 1959, the "cold weld concept was applied to a new invention called the 'insulation displacement contact' or IDC," developed by Edward Leach and Evert Levin at Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing (3M).

https://hackaday.com/2017/03/07/punching-it-down-insulation-displacement-connectors/

Mentions the patent issued in 1961.

https://www.assemblymag.com/articles/92935-insulation-displacement-connectors-are-reliable-alternative-to-crimping

Mentions a vague "50 years ago".
