The league was founded in 1917 in Montreal, Quebec with five teams, and through a series of expansions, reductions and relocations is now composed of 30 teams, 24 of which are based in the United States and six in Canada.
After a series of disputes in the Canadian National Hockey Association (NHA) between Eddie Livingstone, owner of the Toronto Blueshirts and the owners of other teams, the owners of the Montreal Canadiens, Montreal Wanderers, Ottawa Senators, and Quebec Bulldogs met at the Windsor Hotel in Montreal to talk about the NHA's future.
Their discussions eventually led to the creation of the National Hockey League in 1917; the founding teams were the Canadiens, Wanderers, Senators, and the newly-created Toronto Arenas (later known as the St. Patricks and now the Maple Leafs).
1894 Montreal AAA Ottawa Generals
1893 Montreal AAA (no challengers) first Stanley cup champs

The NHL started in the Windsor Hotel in Toronto in 1917, but the first cup was awarded to the Montreal AAA in 1893. Before the NHL it was a challenge cup, not a championship cup.

Ottawa was given the first Stanley Cup.
From what I remember from one of my hockey history courses, Ottawa was presented the Stanley Cup, but the first team to actually win it was Montreal (obviously this is where I am speaking when it was a 'challenge' trophy).
