Most of these are going to be <Whole-genome sequencing> of some <model organism>:
* 1975 by <Sanger> et al.: 5 kbp of the single-stranded <bacteriophage ΦX174> using Sanger's radiolabelling method
* 1981 by <Sanger> et al.: 17 kbp of human mitochondrial DNA via <Sanger method>, known as the <Cambridge Reference Sequence>
* 2003: <Human Genome Project> (3 <Gbp>)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_genome_sequencing#History lists them all. Basically th big "firsts" all happened in the 1990s and early 2000s.
