The first successful rockets built to go into space were ICBMs: the Soviet Sputnik I & II were launched on military ICBMs, the US Mercury spacecraft were launched on military ICBMs (Redstone & Atlas), the US Gemini spacecraft were launched on military ICBMs (Titan II).

IIRC, the Delta & Saturn rockets were the first successful rockets built to go into space that didn't begin as military ICBMs. Although most Deltas are launched from Vandenberg AFB.

The European Arian was the first commercial rocket built to go into space.
