Coming up with a first here is liking picking the best baseball player in a given year. Personally, I'd give Corbin the nod for being the first place where Kentucky Fried Chicken made by Colonel Sanders was served. I'd give South Salt Lake Utah the nod for being the first KFC outlet. This is like baseball where they give different awards for position players and pitchers.
