Which California town is Netflix's headquarters in?

Netflix's headquarters is in Los Gatos, California.

Los Gatos is a town in Santa Clara County, at the southwestern edge of Silicon Valley near San Jose. Netflix's corporate presence there reflects the company's origins in the technology industry, even though its business later expanded into global entertainment, film production and television.

The Los Gatos headquarters is sometimes confused with other California technology centers. Cupertino is associated with Apple, Palo Alto is strongly linked with Stanford and numerous technology companies, and Santa Monica is a major Los Angeles-area media and entertainment hub. None of those is Netflix's corporate headquarters.

Netflix was founded elsewhere in the region: Scotts Valley, California, in 1997. The company later moved its headquarters to Los Gatos. That distinction explains why questions about Netflix can produce two different California place names—Scotts Valley for its founding and Los Gatos for its headquarters.
