URS Corporation was founded in 1951, and incorporated in 1957, as Broadview Research – a research group active in the areas of physical and engineering sciences. In 1967, management developed a growth strategy focused on building a multidisciplinary professional services firm. In 1968, Broadview Research acquired United Research Incorporated (URI) of Cambridge, Massachusetts. During this period, the name Broadview Research was changed to United Research Services, which was later shortened to URS.
