Kent & Essex Mutual Insurance Company

Kent & Essex Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Company was organized on June 13, 1888 and commenced business on July 27, 1888. The company first operated from Romney Township and then out of the home of the manager in Merlin.  Initially, the company was established to insure farm properties against the perils of fire and lightning only. The limit of insurance on buildings was two  thirds of their value. The company operated under the premium note plan whereby every insured signed a premium note amounting to 3 percent of the amount of insurance required.
 
Policies were written for a three year term and the annual or three year premium allowed the company to hold money in reserve to cover losses. If the losses exceeded the premiums, the company could then call on policyholders for an assessment under their premium notes.
 
In 1957 the company added Windstorm coverage and by 1970 its portfolio had further expanded to include Machinery Floater, Theft, and Liability coverages among others. In 1982 the company obtained Supplementary Letters Patent to change its name to Kent & Essex Mutual Insurance Company. The company also changed its underwriting procedures to write all policies on a one-year term.
