Celebrating Facebook’s Founding Day

CHARLOTTE, N.C. —

Before there was Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat there was Facebook.

The social media company was founded on February 4th, 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg and four other Harvard students.

The platform was first limited to Harvard students only then membership eventually expanded to other schools. Since 2006, anyone who claims to be at least 13 years old has been allowed to become a registered user of Facebook.

The story behind the creation of the popular site was even made into a movie called The Social Network.
