Well, it turns out that the origins of Silicon Valley can be traced back to 8 Ph.D. Students and recent grads who were working for a worldrenowned professor named William Shockley. While Shockley was a genius, he wasn’t exactly the easiest person to work with and he regularly got into arguments with his researchers. The students tried asking management to replace the professor but after being repeatedly turned down, the students decided to create their own research laboratory/company that would focus on semiconductor research and commercialization.

This video tells the story of William Shockley and the traitorous 8 and the creation of modernday Silicon Valley.
