Insurance Company Cancels: Hanover Fire Insurance Company of New York

HANOVER FIRE INS.
JUN
8
1899
NEW YORK




From the Worcester, Mass. Telegram & Gazette, March 6, 2013:

The Hanover Insurance Group began as the Hanover Fire Insurance Co., in Hanover Square, New York City. It met many challenges in its early history, including The Great Chicago and Boston fires of the late 1800s. Though these disasters put nearly 70 other insurers out of business, Hanover survived, paying out all of its claims and helping the two cities rebuild. Later, in 1915, Hanover wrote the first auto policy in the State of Michigan, not long after cars began rolling out of Detroit’s factories. Along the way, it’s provided auto insurance to icons, including Babe Ruth.

In 1969, the company moved to Worcester. Today, Hanover does business across United States and abroad. It employs about 5,100 people, 1,825 of which work at its headquarters on Lincoln Street.
