In which city were the first Olympics held in the United States?

The first Olympics held in the United States took place in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1904. This event was notable as it was part of the St. Louis World's Fair, which helped to draw international attention to the games. The 1904 Olympics were significant not only for being the inaugural games on U.S. soil but also because they faced many challenges, including a smaller number of athletes and events compared to modern Olympics. This historic event marked the beginning of the Olympic movement in the United States, paving the way for future games held in various cities across the country.

The other cities listed have hosted the Olympics at different times—Atlanta in 1996, Los Angeles in 1932 and 1984, and New York City never hosted the Summer Olympics but was chosen as the site for the 1932 Winter Olympics. However, none of these cities can claim to be the first U.S. host of the Olympics, as that distinction belongs to St. Louis.
