Nationwide Insurance: About the Company

Launched in December 1925 as the Farm Bureau Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, the firm started out with automobile insurance. The company focused on providing policies to Ohio farmers until 1928, when it started expanding to neighboring states. It grew at a rapid pace and by 1951 started opening regional offices to meet the demand. The company changed its name to Nationwide Insurance in 1955 and has since then diversified into numerous insurance products. Since 2004, Nationwide Insurance has been receiving a 100% rating on the Corporate Equality Index every year.
