The story itself:

Mary (Godwin) Shelley first started the drafts for The Modern Prometheus (Frankenstein) during the summer of 1816 while vacationing with Percey Shelley at Geneva, Switzerland. She was inspired by conversations their group (Percey, Lord Byron, and his mistress Claire Clairmont) had while housebound during frequent rains.

It is generally accepted that she shared some of the story there, because she was encouraged by those in the group to publish, which was done in 1818.

The Monster:

The actual appearance of the monster can be debated. First one has to establish who is the actual monster. Is it victor or is it his creation? If Victor, the monster appears in the fourth paragraph and the final sentence of paragraph seven of chapter four:

Remember, I am not recording the vision of a madman. The sun does not more certainly shine in the heavens, than that which I now affirm is true. Some miracle might have produced it, yet the stages of the discovery were distinct and probable. After days and nights of incredible labour and fatigue, I succeeded in discovering the cause of generation and life; nay, more, I became myself capable of bestowing animation upon lifeless matter....

After...having spent some months in successfully collecting and arranging my materials, I began.

At least this is the first appearance of Victor who is to become the monster.

If it is the creation, it is in chapter seven in the letter to Victor from his father Alphonse where Victor learns of the murder of his brother William.
