Google's 27th Birthday: Why It’s Celebrated on September 27 

Introduction: Happy 27th Birthday, Google!

Today, September 27, 2025, Google is celebrating its 27th birthday with a nostalgic Google Doodle featuring its first-ever 1998 logo. But here’s the twist — Google wasn’t technically “born” on September 27!

So why does Google choose this date every year? Let’s dive into the history, significance, and fun surprises behind this global tech giant’s birthday.

The Real History of Google’s Birthday

• Founded: Google was officially incorporated on September 4, 1998, by Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

• First Server: The first Google server lived in a garage in Menlo Park, California.

• Birthday Confusion: Over the years, Google has celebrated its birthday on Sept 7, Sept 8, Sept 26, and Sept 27.

• Why Sept 27? According to Google, the date was chosen to match an internal milestone — when they celebrated a record number of indexed pages in 2002. Since then, September 27 became the official “Google Birthday.”
