HP
Birthplace of Silicon Valley
In Palo Alto, California, Bill Hewlett and David Packard established a company. In the humble beginnings of the company, two founders resorted to a coin toss to determine the order in which their names would appear. Following a coin toss, Bill Hewlett emerged as the victor, resulting in the company being named “Hewlett-Packard,” commonly known as HP.
The company embarked on its journey from a humble garage, experiencing exponential growth and success. Initially specializing in the production of electronic test and measurement equipment, HP expanded its offerings to encompass an extensive range of hardware components, computer systems, printers, and more. The iconic HP Garage, now recognized as an official California Historical Landmark, is commemorated with a plaque declaring it the revered “Birthplace of Silicon Valley.”
HP manufactured an extensive range of products, including printers, scanners, digital cameras, calculators, personal digital assistants (PDAs), servers, workstation computers, and home and small-business computers. The company’s product lineup was further expanded through the merger with Compaq in 2002, incorporating a significant number of computer systems into their offerings.
