Mutual Assurance Society of Virginia  
Incorporated
1794
 

  Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, located in Albemarle county was first insured by Mutual Assurance Society of Virginia on August 16th 1800.
 
"That the citizens of this state may insure their buildings against losses and damages occasioned accidentally by fire and that the insured pay the losses and expenses, each his share, according to the sum insured." - Mutual Assurance Society charter, 1794
 
"Founded Upon Benevolence"
The fundamental principle of the Society of "mutual assurance and mutual risk" was set forth in the Society's original charter and remains our mission today.
 
The Mutual Assurance Society Against Fire on Buildings of the State of Virginia was founded on December 22, 1794 by an act of incorporation by the Virginia General Assembly. On May 17, 1982 the members of the Society changed the name of the company to "Mutual Assurance Society of Virginia".
 
Today we operate much the same way as we did at our beginning. We provide our members with quality insurance protection at a reasonable cost always striving to do so in a caring and efficient manner. Use the following links to find out more about the Society and how we operate today.
