In the U.S.A.

Built? or flown? The first airplanes (I'm excluding balloons, kites and unmotorised gliders) were built as small models as early as 1848 in England and France.

However the first large scale aircraft were built in Russia, France, Germany, England, US etc. Pretty much all over the place. There was a lot of activity to develop a successful airplane and I'm not sure if anyone is actually recorded as being the first to build one. The patent offices have many hilarious patents on file for various "heavier than air" machines and most were spectacular failures.
