Darwin is the open source core of OS X. It includes the XNU kernel, along with all the free tools. XNU is the updated OpenSTEP kernel which fuses BSD 4.4 with Mach 3.0

As far as I recall it started being fully distributed in Darwin 1.4.1, which was a PowerPC only release, while later releases included support for the x86.

Darwin 1.4.1 - OS X 10.1 - Release notes
Darwin 6.0.1 - OS X 10.2 - Release notes
Darwin 7.0.1 - OS X 10.3 - Release notes
Darwin 8.0.1 - OS X 10.4 - Release notes
