Yes 1984 was written in 1949.

I never looked it up but I always heard it was written in 1948 and he just reversed the last two numbers as it was an easy way to put it in the not too distant future.

Like I said though, I never had the inclination to look it up, maybe he wrote it in 1948 but it was first published in 1949.
