Best Answer

The first recorded hurricane was near Hispaniola in 1495. This was encountered by Christopher Columbus on his voyage to the New World. The first US named hurricane was Hurricane George, in 1947. US meteorologists working in the Pacific Ocean began naming tropical cyclones during World War 2, when they often had to track multiple storms.

Hurricanes have been around longer than Earth, probably. I think so because Jupiter and Neptune have huge hurricanes going on. Anyway, since hurricanes have been around for so many years it's impossible to tell when the first hurricane happened. Hurricane hunters started in 1900s I think. The farthest year that I know of that has been recorded was like 1800 or something.

It is impossible to know when the first hurricane occurred. These storms were occurring long before people were around to record them.
