Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818) is said to be one of the earliest ‘proper’ works of science fiction, but the pulp magazine established it in the USA and was one of the most influential publications for the genre.

Hugo Gernsback published AMAZING STORIES in 1926 and put the genre on a fine trajectory.
