The first three missions of the Apollo Program were unmanned test flights of Apollo hardware. These missions were officially named AS-201, AS-202, and AS-203. The first manned mission was named AS-204. However AS-204 met with disaster, when fire broke out during a routine ground test and all three crew members were killed. The widows of the three astronauts asked NASA to retire the mission naming convention in honor of their husbands. NASA agreed, and AS-204 was renamed Apollo 1. NASA then made the decision that further missions would begin with Apollo 4. It is my pure speculation that the names 2 and 3 were skipped in honor of the Apollo 1 crew. Since there were three astronauts killed, Apollos 1, 2, and 3 were retired in their memory. As such, the next flight was named Apollo 4, so there was no official Apollo 2.

Why didn't they skip from Apollo 12 to Apollo 14?
Apollo 13 occurred between Apollo 12 and Apollo 14. The numbering of the Apollo missions was determined by their launch sequence, so skipping directly from Apollo 12 to Apollo 14 would have disrupted this order. Additionally, each mission had specific objectives and goals, so skipping missions would have meant missing out on valuable scientific data and progress in the Apollo program.
When did Apollo 11 happen?
Apollo 11 happened on July 20, 1969 when astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin became the first humans to set foot on the moon.
