The First Thanksgiving for the Spanish settlers was in 1565. It was held in the subsequent state of Florida. The celebrations took place at St Augustine, which is the oldest, continuously inhabited city founded by the Europeans in the United States of America.
The First Thanksgiving for the English Canadians was in 1578. In that year, Martin Frobisher [c. 1535-1539 - November 15, 1594] held a celebration in the area of the subsequent Newfoundland and Labrador. But his celebration was more thankfulness for a safe homecoming than for a bountiful harvest. He had survived the perilous search for the Northwest Passage that later was to claim the lives of such intrepid explorers as Henry Hudson [d. c. 1611] and Sir John Franklin [ April 16, 1786-June 11, 1847].
The First Thanksgiving for the French Canadians was in 1604. It was held in the all male settlement that was started in that year on Ile Sainte Croix. The celebration was organized under the direction of Francois Grave Du Pont [November 1560-1629] and through the help of Samuel de Champlain [c. 1567-1580 - December 25, 1635].
The First Thanksgiving for the Pilgrims was in 1621. It was held in the subsequent state of Massachusetts. It most likely took place in what nowadays is called Plimouth Plantation.
