Thomas Jefferson was first to be in office a full eight years, from 4 March 1801 to 4 March 1809. George Washington , the first president, served two full terms, but his first term started late and began on April 30 , instead of the intended March 4, date due to delays in the government set up, in this very first presidential election. Therefore his first term was a little short of four years and he did not serve a full eight years.

G. Washington.
George Washington - he served from 1789 to 1797, and didn't go for reelection.
At the time, the 22nd amendment (stating that a president can't serve more than two terms) wasn't in place, but George Washington started a tradition that started until Teddy Roosevelt, who got elected four terms in a row, and died about 100 days in to the fourth term.
This is believed to be the main cause of the 22nd amendment. George Washington felt that if a president was in office for more than 8 years they could have too big of an effect on America, which, although it may have been thought to have been good at the time, turn out to be bad, etc.
Anyways, First president served the full 8 years.
