"US" First - History Question
With first changing their URL from usfirst to firstinspires it reminded me of a history question I have always wanted to know the answer to.

What did the "US" in usfirst really mean?

Did it mean the first organization, and it resided in the United States?
Was the United States abbreviation part of an effort to bolster the STEM fields in just that one country? (As in we want the US to be first in STEM)
Is there some other meaning I am not thinking of?

Does anyone know this history?
