Records are unclear. The best bets are the Babylonians or the Egyptians around 1600 BC.

oh. would you mind to tell me how we are able to find until n digits. I mean, if we ask a computer to find the 4367375th number after decimal point in pi, it would be able to do so. why so? how does it do it?

You must know that 3.14 has been accepted as a working approximation of Pi for thousands of years. Why ask such a question? As for how computers find Pi, just read the absolute basics of computer operation and you will learn.
