Technically, there was none. Navy General Order 409 established the Chief Petty Officer rate (enlisted rank) for 9 of the then 12 Navy ratings (job titles) on 25 February 1893. All personnel who were P.O. First Class in those 9 rates were either automatically advanced to Chief, or were able to be promoted to Chief as of 1 April 1893, the day the order went into effect. Thus a large number of Navy personnel made Chief simultaneously, and there was no single Chief before any other.
There is, however, one Jacob Wasbie who served aboard the USS Alfred with John Paul Jones, whose official job title changed from Cook's Mate to Chief Cook on 1 June 1776, before the concept of petty officers was formalized. This is the first recorded use of the word "Chief" being used in a job title in the US Navy.

How do you address a petty officer?
The Navy (and Coast Guard) are different from other services. We have a Rate (similar to Rank in other branches) and a Rating (similar to MOS). Your Rate is your pay-grade, E-1 is a Seaman Recruit, E-6 is a Petty Officer 1st Class, etc... Your Rating is your job, ET is an Electronics Technician, and FT is a Fire Control Technician, for example. Specific to your question: there are two broad classes of Petty Officers, non-commisioned officers and senior non-commisioned officers. E-4 (Petty Officer 3rd Class), E-5 (2nd Class), and E-6 (1st Class) are non-commissioned officers and you can formally address them in three ways: # Simply as Petty Officer, # An abbreviated form of address such as PO3 (for 3rd Class) or PO1 (for 1st Class), # By combining the Petty Officers Rate and Rating into a single form of address; for example a Machinists Mate who is an Petty Officer 3rd Class could be addressed as MM3, or a Boatswains Mate who is a Petty Officer 1st Class could be addressed at BM1. If you know a Petty Officers last name, you can add it to the greeting as well, i.e., Petty Officer Smith, or MM3 Smith. Addressing a Chief Petty Officer is easier. A E-7 is a Chief Petty Officer, a E-8 is a Senior Chief Petty Officer, and a E-9 is a Master Chief Petty Officer. In practice you would refer to them as Chief, Senior Chief, and Master Chief, respectively. Like the more junior Petty Officers, you can combine a Chief's address with the last name, i.e. Chief Smith, or Master Chief Smith.
