The first two parties were the Federalists headed by John Adams, and Jefferson faction called the Democrat-Republican Party. The D-R continued to evolve in the the Democratic party, so the first Democratic President was Jefferson.

The Federalists and the Democratic Republicans (sometimes called Republicans, but not the party of Lincoln).
