Best Answer

If you are asking about the Walt Disney Company, its roots go back to the early 1920s, before it was in Hollywood making movies, producing TV shows, or opening theme parks. The company itself was founded in October 1923, and it was first known as the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio; it started in Kansas City and then was moved to the west coast; in January 1926, it changed its name to Walt Disney Studio. The studio became known for its Mickey Mouse cartoons, the first one of which, "Steamboat Willie," appeared in November 1928. The company did so well with cartoons and color animated films that it was able to move to bigger and more elaborate quarters in Burbank, California in late 1939.

If you are asking about some of Disney's other ventures, the Disneyland theme park opened in Anaheim, California in July 1955. Walt Disney World, in Orlando, Florida, opened in October 1971. And the Disney channel on cable TV goes back to April 1983.
