The ARPAnet reached four nodes on this day in 1969 (anyone know their
names?); at least one "history" site reckoned the third node was connected
in 1977 (and I'm still waiting for a reply to my correction). Well, I can
believe that perhaps there were only three left by then...
Hmmm... According to my notes, the nodes were UCSB, UCLA, SRI, and Utah.

That's correct. Although it was 1969. I just sent Dave the paper from
the IEEE Annals of History of Computing: 1058-6180/15 [2015] Called
'The Production and Interpretation of APRANET Maps" by Fidler and Currie

BTW: By Sept '73 there were ~20 IMPs and ~15 TIPs The total hosts was ~45
My March '74, the numbers had doubled.

I had commented on the ARPAnet's presence at UCSB on this list
earlier. Back then, being on the ARPAnet didn't mean anything
like what being on the Internet means now. Back then, only
a few research groups had access to, or even knew about, the
ARPAnet. I didn't find out about it until I was a grad student
there in the late '70s even though I had been an undergrad
from 73-75.

Has anyone put together a list of IMPs and dates in the order they were
added to the net?
