If you mean "boxed" cereals, it would be Kellogg's Corn Flakes; but before cereals were boxed, they were sold in bulk at general stores all along the East Coast, as well as shipped out west to prospecting towns in California. The earliest known cereal which still exists (although now boxed and in the cereal aisle) is Quaker Oats. Yes, in 1834, Jeremiah Adams was the first maker of hot cereals. Oddly enough, he wasn't a Quaker at all, but an Ultra-Conservative Mennonite. Because Mennonite was a real mouthful to say, he adopted the Quaker name for his brand new product. Giving it a puritanical name helped it get sold to storekeepers who had devout upbringings. Hope this helps!
