| The Delaware State Grange Mutual Fire Insurance Company was
incorporated by the Delaware State Legislature in Dover March 13, 1877.
Originally, only farm homes, outbuildings and livestock were covered and
only for Grange members. The first policy was issued on January 1, 1880.
The company was opened to other than Grange Members on January 15, 1889.
At the January 23, 1904 meeting the board decided to begin using
reinsurance. In February 1924 the company obtained a perpetual charter
and began writing property in various towns. For many years the company
operated out of the executive Secretary’s home. In 1993 the company set
up a permanent office in Dover Delaware and hired its first full time
employee. In 1998 the company became a full mutual company and shortened
its name to Delaware Grange Mutual Insurance Company. It continues to
operate with the sole mission of providing a market to Delawareans for
products not effectively provided by the larger companies. |
