No, Apollo 1 was not the first NASA spacecraft. It was the first crewed mission of the Apollo program, intended to land humans on the Moon. Unfortunately, a cabin fire during a pre-launch test on January 27, 1967, resulted in the tragic deaths of all three astronauts aboard. The first NASA spacecraft was actually the Mercury capsule, which was used in the early 1960s for the first American human spaceflights.

The Apollo program was first conceived in early 1960.
