Best Answer

The "first" conjoined, or siamiese twins were Chang and Eng Bunker, from Siam (current Thailand). They were born in 1811, and are said to be first, altough there are two other earlier cases. The earliest are so-called "Biddenen Maids", Mary and Eliza Chulkhurst, born in England in 1100. They were said to be conjoined from the hip, but sometimes also from the shoulders. Of course, there are earlier cases, but these are the first to have known names.
