About the author
American National Insurance Company was founded in 1905 in Galveston, Texas, by businessman William Lewis Moody Jr. Reliable sources describe it as a company built in the aftermath of Galveston’s dramatic early-20th-century era, with Moody helping shape it into a lasting part of the city’s financial life.
Over time, American National expanded beyond life insurance into a broader mix of services, including annuities and property and casualty coverage. The company has remained known for its Galveston headquarters and for its long continuity in the insurance business.
Public summaries and the company’s official materials present American National as a long-established insurer with a wide reach across the United States. In recent years it has continued operating under the American National name while emphasizing financial strength, insurance protection, and retirement-focused products.
