State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company was established on June 7, 1922, by George J. Mecherle, a retired farmer. It initially concentrated on meeting auto insurance requirements of Illinois farmers through a mutual organization owned by the clients. By 1942, the firm was the nation's biggest auto insurer, a ranking it has held ever since. About one out of every five cars on the road is insured with State Farm. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company is a mutual insurance firm and as such doesn't have any shareholders.
