The first manned moon landing took place on July 20, 1969, when astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin landed on the moon as part of NASA's Apollo 11 mission.
The first craft to land on the moon was the Soviet spacecraft Luna 2 in 1959 which impacted the surface. The first successful soft landing on the moon was achieved by the U.S. spacecraft Surveyor 1 in 1966.
The first landing spot on the moon was called the Sea of Tranquility, or Mare Tranquillitatis in Latin. It was chosen as the landing site for the Apollo 11 mission, which successfully landed the first humans on the moon in 1969.
The moon landing craft used during the Apollo missions was called the Lunar Module (LM). It was a two-stage spacecraft that transported astronauts from the command module in lunar orbit to the surface of the moon and back. The LM had two parts - the descent stage, which landed on the moon, and the ascent stage, which returned the astronauts to orbit.
The first spacecraft to successfully land on the moon was the Soviet Union's Luna 2 in 1959. The United States' Apollo missions famously landed astronauts on the moon starting in 1969, with Apollo 11 being the first to do so. The Chinese Chang'e 4 mission made a successful soft landing on the far side of the moon in 2019.

Apart from technical conversation about the control and status of the flight, "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed".
It is called the Eagle.
After they landed on the moon, they checked up the craft if all was well. Then they went for their famous moon walk.

The first soft landing on the moon was Surveyor 1, which landed on June 2, 1966 at 2:17 PM ET. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surveyor_1. They turned off the engines when the lunar lander when it was 3.4 meters above the lunar surface, and it free fell from there. This beat out the Soviet Luna 9 mission by 4 months. The first soft landing manned mission was Apollo 11 which landed on July 20, 1969 at 4:17 PM ET
