The first item that could be called a Federally-issued $1000 bill was actually an interest-bearing note released in 1861. However it wasn't intended for general circulation.
The next year, a $1000 United States Note was released, and is normally considered to be the first official thousand-dollar bill.

Some currency experts consider the first federally-issued $1000 bill to be an interest-bearing note printed in 1861 to help finance the Civil War. The first true federal note of that denomination, though, was a United States Note issued the next year, 1862.
The first federal $1000 bills were printed during the Civil War so they definitely existed in 1876 although none were printed with that specific date. However many private banks were also allowed to issue money at that time so it's possible you have a privately-printed bill. Please post a new question with more information about its design.
