First real prog was the b-side mixes to Depeche Mode back in 86-87....like the Aggro mix of "Never Let Me Down Again" or "Agent Orange".

Of course we didn't know it yet and the term had yet to exist.

Nope...don't think so...

Here's a defination of the term:

Progressive House Music Definition

Originating in the United Kingdom, progressive was originally a blend of German trance and house. More electronic sounds are used in progressive house, like analog synths, which brings it closer to techno than the more soulful house. Generally faster than house, progressive is also known for its big dramatic builds, crescendos and breakdowns.

EDIT

After doing some reading, I think what would help is the year people started the monicer "Progressive" which it looks to be about the mid 90s, hot on the heels of the classic Trance machine.

Underworld would be a great example of the start of this (Cowgirl)...
Way out West...Sasha & Digweed's Northern Exposure...

Here's another good definition
