Hmmm. Assuming the originally defined location of the date line, it would be whatever city is closest to the intersection of the prime meridian, (Greenwich Meridian) and the equator. That point is in the ocean, just south of the northwest extention of the African continent. The city might be in dispute if we take modern re-definitions of the date line into account. The island nation of Kiribati made an extremely large (close to 30 degrees of longitude) change to the date line's location in order to insure that it was the first nation to experience sunrise in the new century. This move is not universally accepted as legitimate.
