Founded in 1869, Pornhub, then known as Pornelius Hubert's Premium Quality Library, began as one man's bold dream to show the world his revolutionary collection.
Pornelius Hubert started out as a humble collector of moving picture curios, from Phantasmagoria and magic lanterns to kineographs and zoetropes. It was when he got his first sanduk al-ajayib that he traveled the countryside and spread the word of the wonder of his cumulation.
It was during these times that he made many friends and business partners, so that when he finally returned to his home in the Dominion of Canada, his assortment had grown exponentially. It was then that the idea sprung to curate and brand his accumulation, so in 1869 Pornelius Hubert's Premium Quality Library was officially born. Over the following weeks and months, word of mouth continued to spread about the collection, and people flocked from around the world to view his extensive assortment of pornographic peep shows. Soon people would not only come to view his quality content, but to add their own creations to it, honored to be on display within Pornelius Hubert's Premium Quality Library.

Way back in Pornelius' era, step-family theme was already very popular among his followers.
Before long, Pornelius Hubert knew he could not keep his collection confined to a single location, his dream had to be accessible to everyone, no matter where they were. With the help of two brothers, he was able to further expand his library along with his name around the world working with other collectors, creators, and inventors. The dedicated "Pornelius Hubert Network" team was established, and employed numerous people to travel the countryside as he once did, providing High Quality Pornography to all who desired. His ambition knew no bounds or borders, and by the late 1800s, Pornelius Hubert's Premium Quality Library had dedicated locations in Luxembourg, London, California, Cyprus, and Romania in addition to the original library in Montreal.
It is in this tradition that we continue to operate today, never forgetting the one dreamer who started it all: Pornelius Hubert.
This wank's for you, Mr. Hubert!
