Bollinger's History

When C.W. Bollinger opened his one-man insurance agency in 1933, he could not have foreseen its growth into one of the largest privately held insurance firms in the United States. In the decades since our inception, Bollinger has merged or acquired many of other quality agencies, some dating back to the 1800s.

We are proud of the histories and achievements of these agencies that have come together under Bollinger. Some highlights from the last century include:
