Yes at Fort Sumter
No, the first shots of the Civil War were fired at Fort Sumter, located in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina, on April 12, 1861. South Carolina had seceded from the Union in December 1860, and the confrontation at Fort Sumter marked the official start of the conflict. The Union forces at the fort were ultimately forced to surrender after a 34-hour bombardment by Confederate forces.

The American Civil War's first shots were fired at Fort Sumter, a fortress located in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina. Occupied by Union troops, the fort had for months been a thorn in the side of the South Carolina Confederates: they finally fired upon it (then shortly occupied it) in April of 1861, thereby initiating the start of hostilities that would become the Civil War.
In 1860, Fort Sumter, located in Charleston (South Carolina) harbor, was an Union-occupied fortification surrounded by hostile forces. Over the course of several months, the fort's surrender was demanded by South Carolina, which had seceded from the Union, although no hostilities had as yet broken out between North and South. Finally, in April of 1861, Fort Sumter was fired on -- and the Civil War thus began.
