Unigard Insurance Company was founded at the end of the nineteenth century, in 1895, in the state of Oregon. Originally known as the Oregon Fire Relief Association, Unigard has gone through many changes in its 116-year history. In 1901, the company moved to Seattle and was renamed Northwestern Mutual Fire Association and later became Northwestern Mutual Insurance. Finally, in 1971, Unigard took on its present name, meaning “one guard,” a single source for insurance coverage.

Over the years, Unigard has grown and prospered. For a time, Unigard became a part of the great John Hancock group of companies and then in 1993, Swiss insurance group, Winterthur, purchased Unigard. At that time, the Provident Life Insurance Company acquired Unigard Olympic Life. In 2007, the remainder of the Unigard insurance organization became a part of QBE Americas.
