[Star Trek] What species became the Borg?

What was the first species to turn themselves into what we would recognize as Borg?

We don't know. We know they originated in the Delta quadrant and that the species that became the Queen was *not*, in fact, the Borg's original species.

There is sparse information, but the Vaadwaur encountered them in the 15^th century, and claimed that they were a minor species who had only conquered a few star systems, so it seems like the Borg have only been on the scene as a star-faring civilization for about a thousand years.
