When Was Google Founded? A Journey Through Its History and Evolution
Google was founded on September 4, 1998, by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who started their project while they were Ph.D. students at Stanford University. Initially named "BackRub," the search engine used web links to rank the importance of sites, a novel approach at the time. This idea quickly evolved into a company after gaining early investment, leading to Google's growth into a major player in technology.
