Parent said "one of," not "the very first." Wikipedia has US with 4 out of the first 10 metro stations https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metro_systems
Interesting to note is that some (all?) of those early metro systems are arguably more successful than the subsequent US systems.
The dates on that list skip over the countries from other web links of same data. maybe somebody forgot to add the others to this data
