Historical Information

The Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Loudoun County was incorporated on 12 March 1849. Its headquarters are in Waterford, Virginia. The first Directors' meeting was held on 25 May 1849, and the company's constitution and by-laws were adopted on 9 June 1849. The company accepted its first application for insurance later that month on 27 June. By the Civil War, the company was conducting business in seventeen Virginia counties, and assets of slightly over $15,000. It suspended operations during the war, but company meetings contintued to be held. A new company office was constructed in 1872, and a larger one was built in 1900. The company wrote policies on houses and farm buildings, as well as alms houses, canning factories, churches, mills, livery stables, banks, and jails. In the 1940's, in addition to fire insurance, the company began to cover damage from wind, hail, explosion, smoke, and on vehicles. The present company headquarters was built in 1948. On 1 March 1979, the name of the company was changed to the Loudoun Mutual Insurance Company.
