Famous Birthdays is an American website based in Santa Monica, California, which is dedicated to cataloging the birthdays of famous people and compiling other facts about them. Founded in 2012 by Evan Britton, who has since described the website as "Wikipedia for Generation Z", Famous Birthdays originally focused on more traditional celebrities (such as actors, athletes, musicians, etc.), but has since expanded to also feature internet personalities. This shift came after Britton discovered that visitors were searching for individuals unfamiliar to him; at first mistaking the traffic as spam, he realized that the searches were of people with online followings such as Cameron Dallas.
