First Cache of Each Type
Public
When Jeremy first imported the caches from Mike Teague's online listing into the Geocaching.com database in 2000, all were given a type of "Geocache." On May 7, 2001, he announced distinct types: Traditional, Multi-cache, Letterbox Hybrid, Virtual, Unknown (now Mystery), and Event. In those early days, many listings had their type retroactively applied by both cache owners and the site, so in many cases the true first instance of each type is not clear. For more discussion, see https://forums.geocaching.com/GC/index.php?/topic/361113-first-published-cache-of-each-type. Many thanks to Isonzo Karst and many others in helping to compile this history.
