Assuming that you are asking about the Civil War in the United States (because civil wars happened in many, many other countries at one time or another).

The first shot of the US Civil War happened on April 12, 1861 at 4:30 a.m.; Lieutenant Henry S. Farley, acting upon the command of Captain George S. James fired a single 10-inch mortar round from Fort Johnson at Fort Sumter located in the middle of the Charleston harbor near Charleston, South Carolina.
