Grover Cleveland was the first member of the modern Democratic Party to win the Presidency . He first won in 1884. Before the Civil War, Andrew Jackson won in 1828. He was the founder of the Democratic Party that lasted until it split over slavery in 1860.
Andrew Jackson
No woman has ever ran for president on either the democratic or republican tickets. So if Hillary Clinton wins in the primary elections then she would become the firsrt woman to run for president on the democratic ticket. In 1984, Geraldine Ferraro became the first woman to run for vice-president on a major party ticket.
jackson was the first candidate for his Democratic Party. Its last candidate was James Buchanan in 1856. It split over slavery. After a civil war, a new opposition party was formed to counter the Republicans and it took the name Democratic Party, but it had few ties with Jackson's Democratic Party.

The first president to be elected by the Democratic Party was Andrew Jackson. The Democratic Party arose from the earlier Democratic-Republican Party, and many Democrats see its beginnings there. The first president elected by the Democratic-Republican Party was Thomas Jefferson. The word "democrat," with a small 'd,' denotes a political process rather than a political party. So the question, without capitalization, asks who was the first democratically elected president; this was, of course, George Washington, if you are asking about the presidents of the United States.
Geraldine Ferraro was the first woman to run on a major Presidential election ticket. She ran with Walter Mondale as the Vice Presidential candidate in 1984.
