FedEx Has Come a Long Way Since 1973

Originally known as Federal Express, the company opened its first facility on April 17, 1973 in Memphis, Tennessee. With a team of just under 400 employees at the time, there were 186 packages delivered by 14 aircrafts to 25 cities the first night of operation. Acquisitions of several other companies began in the mid-1980s and have continued on over the years helping to build the multi-faceted shipping and freight company that we are familiar with today.
