ABC, finished in 1942. Built by John Vincent Atanasoff & Clifford Barry in Ames, IA.
The Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC) was designed and built between 1937 and 194 by John Atanasoff and Clifford Berry at the University of Iowa. It is recognized as the first automatic electronic digital computer.
John Vincent Atanasoff was a Bulgarian inventor who lived in the early to mid 1900's. He went to school at the University of Florida as well as many others, and taught Physics and other sciences at the Iowa State University from 1930-1945. With Clifford Berry he built the world's first digital computer.

It was built in Ames Iowa, completed in early 1942.However the invention actually occurred about 4 years earlier in an Indiana bar where the ideas came together in Atanasoff's mind and he wrote the first notes down.

The Atanasoffâ??Berry computer was invented by the eponymous John Vincent Atanasoff. Built at Iowa State University between 1939-1942, the ABC was the first automatic electronic digital computer and debatably the first 'real' computer.
Dr. John V. Atanasoff and his assistant Clifford Berry built the first electronic digital computer. It was called the Atanasoff-Berry-Computer (ABC)
The Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC) was designed and built between 1937 and 194 by John Atanasoff and Clifford Berry at the University of Iowa. It is recognized as the first automatic electronic digital computer.
The Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC) was conceived by John Vincent Atanasoff and built at Iowa State College by Atanasoff and Clifford Berry between 1939 and 1942. It contained 280 vacuum tubes and 31 thyratrons. The ABC was a purpose-built calculation machine designed to solve systems of linear equations. Since it was not programmable, it did not meet the formal definition of a "Turing-complete" computer later proposed by Alan Turing. While not actually a computer, the ABC was the first machine to represent numbers as binary digits; the first machine to perform calculations electronically, rather than mechanically; and the first to isolate computation from memory.
The answer depends on how you define a computer. Konrad Zuse built the first electronic computer at Berlin, Germany The first electronic computer in the US was built at Ames, Iowa by John Atanasoff.
Charles Babbage invented one but never built it in the 1830s.John Vincent Atanasoff invented one in 1936 and built it by 1942.The modern computer was invented sometime between 1943 and 1945 on Project PX (the US Army project to build ENIAC), but nobody knows who was the inventor(s). A prototype was first built in Manchester, England in 1948.

Generally yes, however the Atanasoff-Berry Computer was built independently using university grant money in Ames Iowa. It was used mostly by the university Statistics Department.

John Vincent Atanasoff was the first American to design and build an electronic digital computer, the ABC. It was finished in 1942, but Atanasoff and his assistant Clifford Berry moved on to war related work and abandoned it. It was not a programmable computer however, it was special purpose designed to solve simultaneous equations of up to 29 variables (very big systems in those days, impractical to solve on desk calculators of the time). It was also the first computer of any kind to use Dynamic memory (capacitor based memory similar to modern DRAM).
