Hi, this link might help you getting some information.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_operating_systems
Well there is still some confusion that who built the first OS as earlier computers didn't use OS to run. They run with assembly language.
This might help you too.

There are no such evidences that which operating system can first but the first major job-to-job transition system, considered by many to be the first operating system was designed by General Motors Research Laboratories for their IBM 701 mainframe beginning in early 1956. Its success helped establishment of batch computing - the grouping of jobs into the single set of instructions. Later this concept was expounded into what we know "Multitasking".
