While you may not remember, there was a time when garages didn’t come standard with the average home. As of 2017, nearly 70 percent of Americans own a home with a garage or carport. Whether it’s detached or attached, a garage is meant to protect your belongings, shield your cars from extreme temperatures and serve as a space to have a workshop or small business. But that wasn’t always true. The modern-day version of the garage didn’t even appear until the early 20th century, so what did people do before? Well, here’s a brief history for you. ​ Pre-modern times In the 1800s, long before the modern garage door was invented, there was a strong need for storage of animals, horse-drawn carriages and bicycle. Whether they were built as full barns or traditional carriage houses, these simple structures helped people to care for their prized possessions. These carriage houses often held both the wheeled enclosure, along with the horses that pulled it. This simple structure was built with the most basic components of a garage, including dirt flooring, four standard walls and doors that swung open from the inside, out.

While you may only use your garage to park your car, store children’s toys or bikes, or polish off your honey-do list – a number of people have used these spaces to create billion-dollar companies. These famous founders needed a simple place to start their world-changing inventions. Here are five famous companies that began where every creator goes – the garage. Hewlett-Packard The infamous garage that started Hewlett-Packard is known as the birthplace of Silicon Valley. Originally, it got its big break by creating an audio oscillator that was purchased by Walt Disney for its 1940 movie, Fantasia, to improve the sound quality of the movie. Since that big break, HP has gone on to develop computers, technology and computer accessories that has advanced modern life as we know it. The Walt Disney Co. It’s hard to believe the world’s leading producer of cartoons, animated films and other movies began here as well. Walt and Roy Disney created the first film ever, the Alice Comedies, that would later inspire Alice in Wonderland, in their uncle’s garage before moving on to bigger production sets. Since the launch of its first official movie, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the Disney has gone on to produce 200 more films. Amazon What once began as an online book store, has now grown into the world’s most premier online delivery and goods provider. But it’s founder, Jeff Bezos – who is also the richest man in the world, originally started by selling his first book out of his garage. This company has gone on to become a house-hold name and service. Harley-Davidson Outside of technology realm, the iconic motorcycle company, Harley Davidson also began in the garage. Originally, it started out by developing an engine designed to fit inside a bicycle, before transforming it into an official race bike. While the first order only was for three motor-bikes, within six years it doubled its driving power by introducing the first V-twin powered motorcycle. ​Mattel Years before Mattel became the most popular toy manufacturing company in America, the founders of Mattel were making picture frames. Harold Matson and Eliot Handler then used the scraps from Lucite and flocked wood to make dollhouse furniture, and later the iconic doll that girls would play with forever, Barbie.
