About Google’s Birthday

They shared a common vision of making the World Wide Web more accessible. Working tirelessly from their dorm rooms, they created a prototype for a better search engine. As their project progressed, they set up shop in Google’s first office, a rented garage. On September 25, 1998, Google Inc. officially came into existence.
