I've seen puzzles like this in a number of different places. The sources I've been able to track down are the amazing Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival as well as Robert Abbott's site Logic Mazes. Abbott suggests that these puzzles were first published by Sam Loyd at the end of the 19th century and then later popularized by Martin Gardner in multiple books about Loyd's puzzles.
