They are first generation computers because they used vacuum tubes as active elements, as did almost all computers until 1958 when the first generation is usually considered to have ended. From 1958 on most computers used discrete transistors as active elements until 1964.
Note: ABC & ENIAC are both very early first generation computers as they used ordinary Radio receiver vacuum tubes, not the more expensive Computervacuum tubes that were introduced about 1948 to 1949. The later Computer vacuum tubes were custom redesigned versions and were far more reliable than ordinary Radio vacuum tubes had been.

Second Generation computers. The VAX mentioned above is just a single model of first generation electronic computers.
What are first generation computers?
By most definitions, first generation computers were the ones built with vacuum tubes.
Was the eniac computer the first computer to be created?
No, the following digital computers preceded ENIAC: Harvard Mark I, ABC, Zuse Z1 & Z2 & Z3, Colossus Mark 1 & Mark 2. Also many analog computers preceded these.However ENIAC was the first general purpose programmable electronic digital computer.
