Eli Lilly's company history begins with an 1876 Indianapolis laboratory
Eli Lilly and Company's published history traces its founding to Colonel Eli Lilly's laboratory in Indianapolis in 1876, which had three employees and about 160 square feet of production space. The same timeline runs through the first commercially available insulin in 1923, recombinant human insulin in 1982, and the tirzepatide medicines Mounjaro in 2022 and Zepbound in 2023.
