History
Established in 2002.
State Farm® was founded in 1922 by retired farmer and insurance salesman George Jacob «G.J.» Mecherle. His motivation for starting State Farm was simple. It was about fairness and doing the right thing for the customer.
Mecherle knew farmers drove less and had fewer accidents than city folks. He thought they should pay less for automobile insurance. The insurance company G.J. worked for didn’t agree — and suggested he start his own company. That’s exactly what he did
