This article from Nerdist lays out the complete chronological history of the Jurassic Park franchise, detailing the key events from the founding of InGen to the world-altering consequences seen in Jurassic World Dominion.

Here is a breakdown of the timeline:

  • Pre-Park Era (1975-1992): John Hammond establishes InGen, acquires the islands of Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna (Site B), and begins successfully cloning dinosaurs on Site B. Construction of the Jurassic Park theme park on Isla Nublar begins.
  •  (1993): The events of the first film unfold. Following a fatal accident, a team of experts is brought in to endorse the park, but a sabotage attempt leads to a catastrophic failure. The park is abandoned, and the dinosaurs are left to roam Isla Nublar.
  •  (1997): Four years later, the public learns of the dinosaurs' existence when a T-Rex is brought to San Diego and rampages through the city. This follows an expedition to Isla Sorna (Site B) to document the dinosaurs in their "natural" habitat.
  •  (2001): Dr. Alan Grant is tricked into returning to Isla Sorna for a rescue mission, where he encounters new dinosaur species like the Spinosaurus.
  •  (2005-2015): Masrani Global Corporation buys InGen and successfully opens the new "Jurassic World" theme park on Isla Nublar, which operates for a decade. The park falls in 2015 when the genetically engineered Indominus Rex escapes, causing widespread destruction.
  •  (2015-2018): This animated series bridges the gap between films, following a group of teens left behind on Isla Nublar after the fall of Jurassic World and their struggle to survive.
  •  &  A volcano on Isla Nublar threatens to destroy the island. A supposed rescue mission is revealed to be a front for an illegal dinosaur auction. The dinosaurs are ultimately released into the wild in Northern California, leading to a "neo-Jurassic Age." The short film Battle at Big Rock shows one of the first major human-dinosaur encounters in the wild.
  • Jurassic World Dominion (2022): The timeline culminates four years after Fallen Kingdom. Dinosaurs now live and hunt alongside humans across the globe, creating a fragile and dangerous new world order. The original and new casts unite to confront a new corporate threat (Biosyn) and navigate this unprecedented era of co-existence.
