As regards the first electronic digital computers, the Atanasoff-Berry Computer, the Z3, the Colossus, and the ENIAC were early designs. They ranged in size from something on the order of a desk to several rooms full of equipment in the case of ENIAC. Use the links and check out the pics.
The first electronic (i.e. non-mechanical) computer was the Atanasoff-Berry computer (ABC) and was about the size of an office desk. It was not programmable and was dedicated to a single task: solving linear equations.
The Colossus, used in WWII for code-breaking by the Allies, was programmable by switches and patch cords, but again was dedicated to a single task. It was the size of an office room.
ENIAC was the first electronic, programmable (with switches and cords) multi-use computer. It was the size of a floor in an office building.
The first computer ever built was exactly 3 ft around and 4 ft high.
They were huge and filled whole classroom size rooms. I am going to guess at least 5 feet tall.

How was the term computer first used?
I believe the word was 1st used to identify ancient calculators.Wrong!It was first used for humans that did long tedious computations, usually in large rooms with hundreds of other human computers.Prior to WW2 the dictionary definition of computer was One who computes.Charles Babbage frequently worked as a computer. The frustration of such work inspired him to design the Difference Engine & Analytical Engine, but neither machine was ever referred to as a computer in his day.
What were the sizes of first generation computers?
It depends on how you define 1st generation. The earliest computers were mechanical, and the size of a fairly large room. We then had electrical computers, like the Enigma encryption device, about the size of a large typewriter. 1st generation electronic devices were quite big - about 4 filing cabinets, with the first generation of 'home' computers being about the size we have now, but using CRT monitors.

April 1st, 1976 Apple released the Apple I (and started Apple computers). They were hand built by Steve Wozniak and first shown in California to Homebrew computer club, so I presume they were built there.
