Company History

Foremost Insurance Company was founded back in 1952 by Edward J. Frey and Edward L. Stoddard. Their aim was not to compete with big auto and home insurers, but to provide much needed coverage to people living in mobile homes. In fact, the first mobile home insurance policy was created by Foremost.

Foremost Insurance Group didn’t just pioneer mobile home insurance, they were also extremely influential in developing modern safety standards for mobile homes. Throughout the 1960’s, the company helped to improve the mobile home’s resistance to strong winds, creating a safer mobile home.

Today, Foremost is still specializes in insuring mobile homes, however, they also offer coverage for other items. The company is a member of the Farmers Insurance Group of Companies and they are endorsed by AARP to provide mobile home and motorcycle insurance to their members. Foremost Insurance Group is represented by more than 38,000 agents across the country and they are licensed to operate in all 50 states.
