Which company is headquartered in Menlo Park and was formerly named Facebook?

Meta Platforms is headquartered in Menlo Park and was formerly named Facebook.

Facebook, Inc. changed its corporate name to Meta Platforms, Inc. in October 2021. The social-networking service kept the Facebook name, while the new corporate identity emphasized the company’s broader ambitions in virtual and augmented reality, software, and connected devices.

Meta operates Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp. These services give the company a large global advertising business, which has made Meta one of the world’s most valuable publicly traded technology companies by market capitalization.

The name change did not mean that Facebook disappeared. Facebook remains a product and social network within Meta Platforms. Meta’s headquarters are in Menlo Park, California, at the company’s Reality Labs and corporate campus location.
