The first commercial television receiver was made by RCA. From Wikipedia:
"In 1939, RCA demonstrated an all-electronic television system at the New York World's Fair. With the introduction of the NTSC standard, the Federal Communications Commission authorized the start of commercial television transmission on July 1, 1941. World War II slowed the deployment of television in the US, but RCA began selling television sets almost immediately after the war was over."
I would guess that the first ones were sold in New York, but in fact the first television station (W6XAO) was in Los Angeles.

I don't know for sure, but the inventor, Philo T. Farnsworth, lived in my home city of Fort Wayne, Indiana! (Just in case you wondered that as well.)
