In 1876 McGillivray Mutual Fire Insurance Company was formed by a group of farmers who wanted to purchase insurance at a more reasonable cost. In 1882 London Township Mutual Fire Insurance Company was formed under similar circumstances. These two Mutuals operated separately until 1998 when they amalgamated to form Middlesex Mutual Insurance Co. When you deal with Middlesex Mutual, you become part of an organization that has been meeting the general insurance needs of the community for more than 100 years. We have grown from only offering fire insurance to offering a full line of insurance products including Commercial, Automobile and Liability. We still operate in many of the same ways that we did back then...local, personal service, policyholder owned and operated.
