Square History
In 2009, Jack Dorsey was inspired to create Square after his friend Jim McKelvey was struggling to sell $2,000 worth of glass faucets with no credit card acceptance.
The company was started by Dorsey and McKelvey, who are also co founders of Twitter, and operated from a small office in St. Louis. Square gets its name from its square-shaped card readers.
