Nationwide Insurance

Nationwide got its start in 1925 when the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation decided that the auto insurance companies in existence at that time charged too much for their policies. In 1928, the Ohio Farm Bureau Mutual Automobile Company, as Nationwide was then known, expanded by starting to sell automobile insurance policies in other states. During the 1930’s, the Company added fire and life insurance to its line. In 1955, the Mutual Automobile Company changed its name to Nationwide, as the Company continued to grow. Today, Nationwide, still headquartered in Ohio, is a Fortune 100 company with more than 16 million policies protecting customers and over 30,000 employees.
