"The first orphan asylums begun in the British colonies of North America both seem to have started in 1738. A Lutheran asylum was opened at the Ebenezer Colony (Georgia) in January 1738." - Second Home by Timothy A.

George Whitefield, one of the leading preachers during the Great Awakening, is credited with starting the first orphanage in America in the colony of Georgia around 1738 (which was the year he sailed for Georgia from England). The influence of the Wesley brothers (John and Charles, founders of the Methodist Church and key factors in England's great Methodist Revival) was, no doubt, crucial in the beginning of said orphanage as well, as Whitefield was very good friends with them.
From my understading the first orphanage was in Hurst, Illinois in 1930.

Mother Teresa started dozens of orphanage, her first in 1953, I'm sorry I can't find a name for it, the year after, she founded here the Kalighat Home for the Dying, which she named Nirmal Hriday (meaning "Pure Heart").
