CNA Financial Corporation (NYSE: CNA) is a financial corporation based in Chicago, Illinois. Its principal subsidiary, Continental Casualty Company (CCC) was founded in 1897. CNA celebrated its centennial in 1997. CNA (the parent company) was incorporated in 1967. The National Fire Insurance Company was acquired in 1956, and in the 1963 the American Casualty Company was acquired. The first letters of each of the original companies were merged to form the acronym CNA. It was then referred to as the Continental National American Group, now it simply goes by CNA. On January 1, 2004, CNA sold its Group Benefits division to The Hartford, based in Hartford, Connecticut. The Hartford merged its new purchase with its own Group Benefits Division. With the sale of this division came the end of CNA’s long history as a multi line insurer. The primary business focus of CNA is to provide commercial property and casualty insurance to businesses and professionals. CNA markets its products and services primarily through independent agents and brokers.
