Steve Wozniak Working on a Computer Prototype in the Famous Garage, ca. 1983

On April 1, 1976, Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs found Apple Computer in the garage of Jobs’ parents house in Los Altos, California.




Located in Silicon Valley, at 2066 Crist Drive in Los Altos, is the place where Jobs and Wozniak made the very first Apple computers. Built in 1952, this modest house was also the childhood home of Jobs. And according to the San Jose Mercury News, the Los Altos Historical Commission voted unanimously to designate the home as a “historic resource” in 2013.

“The garage is a bit of a myth,” Wozniak said. “We did no designs there, no breadboarding, no prototyping, no planning of products. We did no manufacturing there. The garage didn’t serve much purpose, except it was something for us to feel was our home. We had no money. You have to work out of your home when you have no money.”


The home is currently occupied by Jobs’ stepmother, Marilyn Jobs, and the owner of the home is listed as the Jobs Trust.
