I can't say where the first modern Track and Field events were held, but they have their origins in the ancient Greek Olympics. The ancient Greeks believed that the home of the gods was at the top of mount Olympus, and at the base of the mountain the Greeks held regular athletic competitions in things such as running, jumping, javelin throwing, Wrestling, and other such things, to honor the gods.
Track & Field was originated during the B.C era in Greece. Where men from everywhere came to challenge each other in different events.

Formal athletics originated in ancient Greece. Some of the earliest sports were track and field, wrestling, chariot racing, as well as boxing.
Track and Field
Track itself only has discrete roots back to the early 1800's in various countries in Europe, eventually making its way into America. Track events however, started back before there were even countries that one could classify. The Greek started holding Olympic Games including events such as the Standion Race (Running Race), the Long Jump, the Javelin Throw, the Discus throw, and wrestling. All of these (with the exception of Wrestling) are modern day track meet events. So to directly address your question: Track and field began nearly 2700 years ago in the Greek Empire.
