That might be the day it was released to the public, but I wonder when it was conceived and how long it actually took him to develop bitcoin from his initial idea. It seems to me like it would have taken quite some time to figure out.

Well, bitcoin.org was registered in August of 2008 so it's safe to say Bitcoin has already been conceived, at least in SN mind. There are interesting bits and pieces out there but very little from the founder himself - he was strictly business and shared very little of his life struggle and personal journey thing with the public.

Well, depends on what OP means, Bitcoin was in development many years before it was announced. And the genesis block(number 0 in bc.i https://blockchain.info/block/000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934ff763ae46a2a6c172b3f1b60a8ce26f) contains the message "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks" so Jan 3, 2009.

Oh, sorry, Wikipedia article is correct, genesis block was created on January 3rd.

You got the wrong block, here's the first one:

January 3 was the announcement and code release.

From Wikipedia's source:

Quote
That’s what he did on the evening of January 3, 2009, when he pressed a button on his keyboard and created a new currency called bitcoin. It was all bit and no coin. There was no paper, copper, or silver—just thirty-one thousand lines of code and an announcement on the Internet.

You have definitely been around longer to me so I am perfectly willing to accept that narrative, but then I wonder why Blockchain has a different date stamp. 

I am thinking that maybe the first chain died after a week and had to be started over?  Is that a possibility? 

We all know well that the original code was meant to be sloppy.

Wikipedia says it was on January 3, 2009 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin

Blockchain says January 9, 2009 https://blockchain.info/block/00000000839a8e6886ab5951d76f411475428afc90947ee320161bbf18eb6048

Also, was Bitcoin the first blockchain?
