Apparently Washington Irving used the line earlier (1809) but I dont' know if it was the first line of a novel.

Once a young man gave me a short story he wrote for my input... it started "It was a dark rainy night in december.." sigh.

The first novel I ever actually read that started with this line was
"A Wrinkle in Time".  I never even heard of the other one until I
googled it once.

Only if you're a beagle sitting on top of a doghouse typing it on a
