The US Supreme Court's first decision was released on August 3, 1791, in the case West v. Barnes, (1791).
Although West was the first case argued before the Court, the opinion and other documentation has been lost, so the case is not published. The space it would occupy in US Reports, the official publication of US Supreme Court opinions, is in Volume 2 at page 401 (the front of the book contained Pennsylvania Supreme Court decisions), where Oswald v. State of New York, 2 US 401 (1791) is printed.
