SILICON VALLEY
ABOUT THE COVER Regarded as the birth of Silicon Valley, the Hewlett Packard
Garage has been designated a California Historical Landmark
and is listed on the United States National Register of Historic
Places. In 1938, 25-year-old David Packard met with
William Hewlett at the garage with $538 USD in capital. One
year later, after a coin toss, they named and created their
company Hewlett-Packard. Their first product was the
HP200A audio oscillator (created in the garage) and one of
their first clients was the Walt Disney Company.
