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.
Delaware Grange Mutual continues to operate with its
main mission of providing a market to Delawareans for
products not effectively provided by the larger
companies. However, as with most businesses, the
Company’s long range plans include growth. The Company
continues to add products to its portfolio and
effectively competes in the general marketplace.
The Company offers its products throughout Delaware
through the independent agency system. A list of agents
can be found on this website. If you have a situation
which requires a unique approach to provide needed
coverage, please have your agent talk to one of our
underwriters. |
