GNU Emacs first appeared in 1976 or thereabouts (and not on Unix).Stefan corrected me off-list. It wasn't GNU Emacs, but its predecessor on ITS. In fact, Wikipedia indicates that Richard Stallman didn't start on GNU Emacs until 1984, in response to the not-open-source Gosling Emacs.
To link this with the OP's question, note that C-x C-c in ITS Emacs did not "quit Emacs" as C-x C-c now does, it was a "suspend" operation.
