Why was 626 so called before we knew of the other experiments?
In Lilo and Stitch (2002), Stitch is referred to originally as '626'. We later (by later I mean a few movies later and several years) find out that Stitch is referred to '626' because he was Jumba's 626th experiment. At the time of the first movie we do not know about Jumba's other experiments.
My question is why was Stitch referred to as '626' before we knew there were more experiments? Was it the case that it was always known by the writers that Jumba had created other experiments and Stitch was the 626th but it was just not referred to on the screen?

maybe because its super clear in the show it might seem to be general knowledge. Considering in the film it's just an asumption based on two lines of dialogue, have a +1 to compensate :D

I think it’s made pretty explicit that Stitch was the latest in a long line of experiments. In Jumba’s trial, he describes his work thusly:
My experiments are only theoretical… completely within legal boundaries.
This is immediately shown to be a lie when they bring out Stitch, and we get this description:
What you see before you is the first of a new species. I call it Experiment 6-2-6.
That’s why Stitch is referred to as “626” throughout the film, and I think that dialogue makes it clear that there are 625 other experiments.

Maybe it is because the area next to the Burbank Disney animation studios is 626. I’m guessing many of the writers and animators live in the 626.
