Position

CSS snapshot 2021

↘︎ bit of history

• CSS1, W3C 17 Dec 1996
• CSS2 press release 1998
• CSS2, W3C
• CSS position 3, editor's draft
• Wikipedia CSS
• see more of CSS drafts

so the position property we use today was first introduced in CSS2 in 1998 May, while there have been some improvements since then, the core concept and behavior were pretty much established in CSS2 (except for sticky).

in CSS1, which was released in 1996 Dec, it mainly focused on basic styling features such as fonts, colors, text properties, margins, and padding. one can assume that there were increasing needs for more elaborate design tool for webpage in terms of layout, therefore position was developed and introduced.
