I see that it already existed in the 80s, even though one must say it's a way different deal than what you call "House" these days.
What they did in the 90s was continuing that style still, but by the time it became a craze since the middle to the end of the last decade (only say "David Guetta"...) it wasn't what is used to be.
In music exactly, I could think it was a further development of the Disco music - many Soul-like voices singing, House beats made with Roland TB-808 or TB-909 (I don't remember if they also used it as much) as drum machines don't sound that much far away from, let's say, Saturday Night Fever (I know, the Bee Gees did their own thing in that... They didn't simply copy Black music).
But, don't ask me how present it was in Western clubs or subculture. I really don't know.
