In 1978, Micron was founded by Joe and Ward Parkinson, Doug Pitman and Dennis Wilson as a semiconductor design consulting firm. The initial funding was provided by local businessmen Allen Noble, Ron Yanke, Rudolph Nelson and Tom Nicholson. In 1981, with the completion of its first wafer fabrication unit, the company shifted from consulting to manufacturing.
In 1996, a merger of Micron Computer, Micron Custom Manufacturing Services and ZEOS International boosted the size and scope of the business. Over the following years, the company has pursued an assertive acquisition strategy, buying up dozens of different firms and diversifying its product portfolio.
In 1997, Micron acquired NetFrame Systems in an attempt to enter the mid-range server industry. In 2005, the company created a joint venture with Intel (INTC) known as IM Flash Technologies, based in Lehi, Utah. The two firms formed another joint venture, IM Flash Singapore, in 2011. However, Intel's stake in both ventures was then fully acquired by Micron.
Some other notable purchases made by the company were Displaytech in 2009, Numonyx in 2010, Elpida Memory Inc. and Rexchip Electronics Corporation in 2013, Inotera, Tidal Systems and Pico Computing in 2015 and FWDNXT Inc. in 2019.

The stock’s first significant price hike happened between 1993 – 1995, when the Micron share price went from $1.98 in April 1993 up to $47.19 in September 1995, on a split-adjusted basis. However, the stock then entered a downtrend, falling to trade at $8.62 per share by July 1996.
After a few years of dramatic price swings, MU shares gained another upside momentum, peaking at $95.56 in July 2000. Right after hitting this record high, the stock started plunging at a rapid pace.
