Assuming you mean WHO was the first to travel in a rocket, that rather depends on what you mean by a rocket. Before anybody went into space people were flying rocket powered aircraft to investigate hypersonic speeds. Neil Armstrong, for example, before he became an astronaut, flew the X-15, a rocket powered plane, to extreme altitudes and speeds of around Mach 5 (5 times the speed of sound).
However, assuming you mean the first person to ride a rocket into space, that would be Yuri Gagarin on Vostok 1, April 12th 1961.
(Laika, incidentally, was the first animal in orbit, but not the first in space and she did not ride the first rocket launched by the USSR. It was purely a publicity stunt to make the USSR look better: they sent her up without the slightest intention of bringing her back.)

Several animals were sent into space in rockets in the late 1940s and early 1950s by both Russia and America.
If you want the first human to ride a rocket the that was a Chines man called Wan Who, in about 500AD. He did not survive the experience.
The first human into orbit on a rocket was Yuri Gagarin.
Several Americans went into space on the X15 before him Niel Armstrong among them.
