The first lightning on Earth probably struck a little more than 4 billion years ago when Earth became cool enough to support storm clouds. There was no life on Earth at this time, so it is impossible to know exactly when the first lightning ocurred.

The exact date of the first lightning bolt strike is unknown as it predates written history. Lightning has been occurring for billions of years, since the formation of Earth's atmosphere and the development of electrical activity within thunderstorms.
