Cupertino is the California city that serves as Apple’s headquarters.
Apple’s current headquarters is Apple Park, a large circular campus in Cupertino, in Santa Clara County. The campus replaced the company’s earlier headquarters at 1 Infinite Loop, also in Cupertino. Apple Park opened to employees in 2017 and is widely recognized for its ring-shaped main building and extensive landscaped grounds.
Cupertino became closely associated with Apple because the company grew there after its founding in the 1970s. The city is part of Silicon Valley, a region that includes several neighboring communities rather than one single municipality. Apple’s address is therefore often described as being in Silicon Valley, while the specific city is Cupertino.
Palo Alto, San Jose, and Mountain View are nearby technology centers, but they are not Apple’s headquarters city. Apple also operates offices and facilities around the world, yet its corporate headquarters remains in Cupertino.
