The first conspiracy was Watergate.

After Watergate, Late night FM (new at the time) programming filled with a bunch of "Well what else is the government hiding from us?"

Someone eventually proclaimed that aliens were covered up at the Roswell Incident, which everyone had forgotten about after 20 years.

Kennedy assassination was before Watergate... Pretty sure there were immediate conspiracy theories with that one.
