The first "battle" of the Civil War took place not in Manassas, but at Rich Mountain, in Randolph County VA (now WV). Fort Sumter wasn't technically a battle.

The guy that said Rich Mountain, VA (now WV) is correct. The first shots were fired at Fort Sumter, but that wasn't really a battle, and the first "major" battle was at Manassas/Bull Run, but the fighting at Rich Mountain occurred before Manassas/Bull Run.

Decades of growing strife between North and South erupted in civil war on April 12, 1861, when Confederate artillery opened fire on this Federal fort in Charleston Harbor. Fort Sumter surrendered 34 hours later. Union forces would try for nearly four years to take it back

It was actually the Battle of Bull Run. Fort Sumpter isn't considered as a battle.
