The term supercomputing arose in the late 1920s in the United States in response to the IBM tabulators at Columbia University. The CDC 6600, released in 1964, is sometimes considered the first supercomputer.
Depending on your exact definition of supercomputer, its probably one of these:
Not everyone agrees on which computer was the first super-computer.
If you took a vote amongst all those old enough to remember computer history from the mid 1950s on, the winner would certainly be the Cray 1, probably by a landslide.
This machine, designed by Seymour Cray, was blindingly fast by the standards of the day; nobody gave the name super computer to anything produced before the Cray 1.
A supercomputer is defined as any computer with at least 10 times the speed and capacity of any standard computer of that time. Depending on which scholars you ask, one of the following computers was the first supercomputer:
The first computer deliberately designed to be much faster than the fastest computer available was the IBM NORC built for the navy, the first true supercomputer built was the Univac LARC built for LLNL (both LARCs built only had one of two possible CPUs installed), the first supercomputer built in quantity (9) was the IBM 7030 Stretch built for Los Alamos and the NSA, the first mass produced supercomputer was the CDC 6600 (it was also the first RISC architecture computer).
Which "first" did you want?
It could be any of the following, depending on how you define "first supercomputer":
Control Data Corp. introduced the CDC 6600 in 1964 at which time it was three times faster than the IBM Stretch, which had been the speed champ for a couple years. The CDC 6600 achieved its speed by using ten peripheral processors pipelining data to a central processor that could process three million instructions per second.
Depending on opinion and point of view, these are most likely candidates:
The first super computer was cray cdc 6600 super computer and was considered to be the most powerful computer in England.
The CDC 6600, released in 1964, is generally considered the first supercomputer
India's First Supercomputer was PARAM 8000. PARAM stood for Parallel Machine. The computer was developed by the government run Center for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) in 1991. The PARAM 8000 was introduced in 1991 with a rating of 1 Gigaflop (billion floating point operations per second). All the chips and other elements that were used in making of PARAM were bought from the open domestic market. The various components developed and used in the PARAM series were Sun UltraSPARC II, later IBM POWER 4 processors, Ethernet, and the AIX Operating System. The major applications of PARAM Supercomputer are in long-range weather forecasting, remote sensing, drug design and molecular modelling

The most powerful (thus fastest) super-computer in the world is in Japan. Its name is the "Computer K." While the most powerful super-computer in the US is the Jaguar Super-Computer and is located in California.
