What was the First hurricane ever recorded?

Impossible to determine. Hurricanes have been around longer than there have been people to record them. But if you mean the first recorded hurricane, then in the Atlantic it would have hit the Leeward Islands and then to Louisiana. This was a minor hurricane and this is as far as I know of, which is pretty far since that one was in 1800. In the Pacific area, the farthest of my knowledge is a hurricane in 1925 and it existed off the coast of Mexico.
