About American Family Insurance

American Family’s history dates back to 1927, when Herman Witter opened the door of Farmer Mutual Insurance Company.  Targeting farmers, auto insurance was the only product offered at this time. Over the years, Farmers Mutual broadened its market and product line to better fit the changing needs of its customers.  In 1963, the company changed its name to American Family to reflect this expansion.  Today, American Family Insurance is serving customers nationwide in areas of auto, home, health, life and business.
