Travelers Insurance Companies

Travelers is an American property and casualty insurance company with roots going back to 1864. The company says it was founded that year, and today it offers coverage for personal, business, and specialty needs through independent agents and brokers.

Over time, Travelers became known as one of the best-known names in U.S. insurance, helped by its long history and the widely recognized red umbrella symbol. Public company information describes The Travelers Companies, Inc. as a leading provider of auto, home, and business insurance, with headquarters in New York City and major operations in Hartford, Connecticut.

Its modern form reflects a long corporate history that includes mergers and reorganization, but the brand has remained closely tied to reliability and risk protection. For listeners interested in business history, Travelers stands out as a company that grew alongside modern American insurance itself.
