Celebrating Our History

Our Company’s History Dates Back to 1861

Here are some of our milestones that we are proud of:

1856

The town of Paris, Ontario was established by Hiram Capron.  Hiram not only founded Paris, Ontario, but also the Brant Mutual Insurance Company.  Hiram ‘King’ Capron is an icon in Canadian History.

1856

1861

On May 27th, 1861, Hiram founded The County of Brant Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Company.  Hiram brought together local farming citizens to form a group that pooled their resources to help one another in the event of disaster.  At that time they only allowed local farmers to purchase insurance ‘notes’ which constituted insurance policies in todays world.  The company started with 28 notes issued.

1861

1921

Brant Mutual Insurance Company moved its headquarters to a central location in downtown Brantford in 1921.  This move enabled us to provide our services to a wider demographic; helping more people in more places; effectively and efficiently.

1921

1958

As the company continued to grow, it was vital to secure a stand alone location to do business.  After 37 years off Market Street, we relocated to 207 Greenwich Street.  This location gave the company more room for our growing business.

1958

2010

As day to day business continued to evolve to keep up with the technology era, we followed suit.  After years of meticulous designing and planning, in August 2010 we moved our head office from 207 Greenwich Street to 20 Holiday Drive.  This new location is centrally located and fully accessible to all of our patrons.

2011

On May 27th, 2011 we celebrated our sesquicentennial anniversary!  We are very proud to have reached this historic milestone.
