Several early civilisations adopted the 365 day calendar. Notably the Ancient Egyptians. Certainly before 3000 BC
In 45 BC.
The Gregorian calendar, widely adopted in the western world, was initially decreed by Pope Gregory XIII on 24 February 1582. The Gregorian calendar was first proposed by Aloysius Lilius because the mean year in the Julian Calendar was slightly long, causing the vernal equinox to slowly advance earlier in the calendar year. On 5 October 1582, the Gregorian calendar was actively adopted in the western world for the first time. It required an adjustment to correct 11 accumulated days from the Julian calendar. The day following Thursday, 4 October 1582 was Friday, 15 October 1582, effective in most Catholic countries such as Italy, Poland, Spain and Portugal.
The calendar was technically first invented by the Ancient Egyptians.
The Julian calendar took effect for the first time in 45 B.C.
Julius Caesar created the modern calendar in 46 BC, and it was adopted by Rome in 45 BC.His Julian Calendar of 365.25 days added winter months that were previously inconsistent, and used leap days to keep the seasons and the calendar in alignment.The current form is also called the Gregorian Calendarfor Pope Gregory XIII, who in October 1582 introduced the adjustment of the Julian calendar by skipping 10 calendar days, recognizing that the year was actually slightly shorter than 365.25 days. This calendar removes the leap days from end-of-century years (e.g. 1800, 1900) unless the first 2 digits are evenly divisible by 4.
The most widely used calendar in the world, adopted in 1582 to correct errors in the Julian calendar.
In 45 BC.

The calendar system developed by the Olmec civilization was adopted by most early Mexican cultures. This calendar, known as the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, played a significant role in the civilizations that followed, such as the Maya and Aztec.
I do not believe that any other calendar was in use in the United States at any time after the Revolutionary War. England adopted the calendar in 1752, at which time there was not yet any country called the United States--the 13 colonies were part of England.
