Oldest cache of each type as far as I know. Types were invented a year in. Early on owners could edit type, so determining first is uncertain. Originally all caches were simply Geocache.

The type was created a bit later and applied retroactively. The cache type must have happened in Jan or Feb 2002, see the forum posts below, in Jan 2002, it didn't yet exist, and by Feb 28 it did. Moun10Bike Posted 04 January 2002 - 07:54 AM I wouldn't mind seeing a webcam cache icon/type (discussed previously) as well as one for traveling caches.
