Your local insurance company for your local needs in Dover, Delaware

Delaware State Grange Mutual Fire Insurance Company was incorporated by the Delaware State Legislature in Dover on 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. Our home office continues to be in Dover. We have grown to 5 full time and 1 part time employee. Delaware Grange Mutual has since continued to add different products to its portfolio and effectively competes in the general marketplace.
