Taylor Otwell created Laravel as an attempt to provide a more advanced alternative to the [[CodeIgniter]] framework, which did not provide certain features such as built-in support for user [[authentication]] and [[authorization]]. Laravel's first [[beta release]] was made available on June 9, 2011, followed by the Laravel 1 release later in the same month.

On September 5, 2024, Laravel announced that they had received $57 million in [[Series A round|Series A]] funding from [[Accel (company)|Accel]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://blog.laravel.com/accel-invests-57m-into-laravel | title=Accel invests $57M into Laravel Products & Open-Source Framework | access-date=March 5, 2025 | archive-date=February 24, 2025 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250224171400/https://blog.laravel.com/accel-invests-57m-into-laravel | url-status=live }}</ref>

Laravel 5 was released in February 2015 as a result of internal changes that ended up in renumbering the then-future Laravel 4.3 release. New features in the Laravel 5 release include support for scheduling periodically executed tasks through a package called ''Scheduler'', an abstraction layer called ''Flysystem'' that allows remote storage to be used in the same way as local [[file system]]s, improved handling of package assets through ''Elixir'', and simplified externally handled authentication through the optional ''Socialite'' package. Laravel 5 also introduced a new internal [[directory tree]] structure for developed applications.<ref name="packt-essentials" />{{rp|13&ndash;14}}<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://laravel-news.com/2015/01/laravel-5/ | title = Laravel 5 | date = January 30, 2015 | access-date = May 10, 2015 | author = Eric Barnes | website = laravel-news.com | archive-date = November 11, 2016 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20161111191329/https://laravel-news.com/2015/01/laravel-5/ | url-status = live }}</ref>
