G'day Adrian, google Radio Shack history.

If you're talking about the company then it was back in the 1920s in Boston.
According to Wiki, it was a term coined for the location of the radio on a ship.

Regards Axtyr.

Correct. And the specific ship that the term originally applied to was the Titanic.
