The red giant star Betelgeuse, in the shoulder of the constellation Orion, is one of the brightest stars in the winter sky. It has been known since antiquity.
We really have no way of knowing "who was first" or "what year..." for things that happened over 3,000 years ago. Mostly, the records were lost, or destroyed, or for things THAT long ago, they were never "recorded" at all.
