Before Grange
In February 1933, a collaboration was formed between Town and Village Insurance Company Services and Grange Insurance Services, Inc. to provide automobile insurance specifically for members of the Ohio State Grange. Grange Insurance Services operated as the general agent within Ohio handling marketing and sales efforts, while Town and Village issued policies through New Century Casualty Company based in Chicago.
Founding years
Grange Mutual Casualty Company was incorporated on March 25, 1935 as a nonprofit entity under Ohio statutes, taking over operations from Town and Village Insurance Services. It functioned as a mutual insurer focusing primarily on property and casualty coverage.
Initially restricted to members of the Ohio State Grange, the company expanded its portfolio by introducing hospitalization benefits in 1942 followed by general liability coverage in 1944. By 1955 fire and extended coverage options were incorporated. In 1958, Grange Mutual separated from the Ohio State Grange organization and began offering its insurance products to the wider public throughout Ohio.
Growth and expansion
In 2002, Grange Mutual formed a partnership with Integrity Insurance to broaden its presence into the states of Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota.
