The HP Garage is a private museum where the company Hewlett-Packard (HP) was founded. It is located at 367 Addison Avenue in Palo Alto, California.The street lent its name to Hewlett-Packard's employee credit union, known until 2010 as "Addison Avenue Federal Credit Union". The name changed in 2011 to "First Tech Federal Credit Union" after a merger with First Tech Credit Union. It is considered to be the "Birthplace of Silicon Valley". In the 1930s, Stanford University and its Dean of Engineering Frederick Terman began encouraging faculty and graduates to stay in the area instead of leaving California, and develop a high-tech region. HP founders Bill Hewlett and David Packard are considered the first Stanford students who took Terman's advice. Read more on Wikipedia
