Category 1 is the lowest hurricane classification on the Saffir–Simpson scale. When a storm's wind speed is between 64 knots (74 mph; 119 km/h; 33 m/s) and 82 knots (95 mph; 153 km/h; 42 m/s), it is classified as a Category 1. Since records began in 1851, 358 tropical cyclones have peaked at this intensity.
Background
Since HURDAT began in 1851, all tropical cyclones of at least tropical storm intensity were tracked by the National Hurricane Center. In 1971, the Saffir–Simpson scale was devised by Herbert Saffir and Robert Simpson. Category 1 was designed as the lowest hurricane category on the scale.

=In 1996, the Lake Huron cyclone formed over the Great Lakes, and became a Category 1 equivalent subtropical cyclone at its peak.
Michael Chenoweth
A climate researcher: Michael Chenoweth has suggested that the following systems were Category 1 hurricane's on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale:
Subtropical hurricanes
Very rarely, a subtropical cyclone will strengthen into a Category 1 subtropical hurricane. There have only been two known cases of this phenomenon:
