The first to be connected were the following four:
* University of California at Los Angeles * Stanford Research Institute * University of California, Santa Barbara * University of Utah
After 1973 once the main US ARPANET had formed two satellite links were added that connected to Hawaii and Norway, from Norway a connection to the UK (London) was added.
The Internet as we know it today is based on Arpanet.

ARPAnet.
The Internet is based on technologies developed for ARPANET in the 1960s and 1970s by computer science researchers at many universities and research organizations. The ARPANET project was funded by the US Department of Defense.
The Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) an arm of the US Department of Defense.
I believe it was called Arpanet (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network). The original idea was to connect a bunch of computers on different universities, so they could share research.
