January 1996: While at Stanford, Larry Page and Sergey Brin begin working on a search engine that became Google. The original domain name for Google was google.stanford.edu
September 1998: Google is incorporated in a friend’s garage in Menlo Park, CA. At the time they had only one employee.
March 1999: Less than a year after opening shop in a garage, Google moves their offices to 165 University Avenue in Palo Alto, where they joined fellow tenants and up-and-comers T-Mobile and Paypal.
August 1999: Google opens their global headquarters, where it remains today. Currently, they also have satellite offices in over 60 countries around the world.
August 2006: Google opens their new Manhattan office, a former Port Authority building that takes up an entire city block. They’ve certainly come along way from that garage in Menlo Park.
