The first animated short was J. Stuart Blackton's "Humorous Phases of Funny Faces" (1906, though this uses cutout animation made to simulate tradional line animation. The first line animation cartoon was "Fantasmagorie" (1908) by French director Emil Cohl. Though may people believe the first cartoon with synchronized sound was Walt Disney's "Steamboat Willy" (1928) it was actually Max Fleischer's "My Old Kentucky Home" (1926). The first feature length animated film came from Argentina. "The Apostle" (1917) by Quirino Cristiani is now considered a lost film.

It depends on your definition of a 'Cartoon', after all, the hieroglyphics used by Ancient Egyptians could be considered Cartoons.

And to go even further back, prehistoric man drew on cave walls visually depicting their daily life. Those could also be considered cartoons.

You'll have to be specific in your definition of a 'Cartoon'

Cartoons were first just changing pictures. Most of the people were stick people. A boy named Walt Disney thought he could do better. Walt went to art school at the age of sixteen in Chicago. When he grew up, Walt made a cartoon with a mouse who was not a stick person, and he made it look like the mouse could talk. Walt called this cartoon Mortimer Mouse. He later called it Mickey Mouse. Walt started his own company called Walt Disney and soon started making movies. Today Walt Disney is one of the biggest names in amination.
