There seems to be some debate about Google’s “founding” date.

Google’s actual founding date is subject to debate. There are those who think that Google should bring out the cake on the September 4, the day in 1998 that Google filed its incorporation papers and officially became Google, Inc. Still others think that Google should recognize September 15, 1997 as its founding date, as that is when Google registered the google.com domain. But despite the debate, Google has celebrated its anniversary on September 27 for the past few years now, making the date somewhat official.

Does it matter? Not really. Unless you’re trying to prove how much time you had on the job in order to collect social security disability or something, there’s no reason it couldn’t be celebrated in July if they wanted too.
