ARPANET

Short for Advanced Research Projects Agency Network, ARPANET or ARPAnet was created in 1966 by the United States ARPA. ARPANET was a Wide Area Network linking many universities and research centers and was the start of what we consider the Internet today and first came to existence when the first two nodes were established between UCLA and Stanford Research Institute (SRI) in 1969 followed shortly thereafter by UCSB and the University of Utah. ARPANET was replaced by NSFNET in 1990.
