The History of Lockheed Missile Systems
The next year in 1955, Lockheed moves the Missile Systems Division out of Burbank and up 101 to the Stanford Industrial Park. This makes Lockheed by far the largest employer in this brand new proto Silicon Valley. In 1959, just four years later, Lockheed Missile Systems employs almost 20,000 people. And a few years later, by the mid 60s, they would employ 30,000 workers.
