ABOUT NATIONWIDE INSURANCE
Nationwide started in 1925 with the goal of providing quality auto insurance at low rates to farmers in Ohio. It was initially called the Farm Bureau Mutual Automobile Insurance Company. Over the next few years, the budding company expanded to several other states. In 1955, Farm Bureau Mutual had become national and outgrown its name, so it adopted the new name Nationwide Insurance. The company went public in 1997 and has one of the largest market shares in the automotive insurance industry, along with GEICO, State Farm, and Allstate.
