In 1882, Thomas Caldecot Chubb and his son, Percy, opened their insurance business in New York City focusing on the seaport district, insuring ships and their cargo. The business initially was called Chubb & Son, and its first policy covered a shipment of grain.
The company evolved and expanded over the years, but Chubb really expanded into global growth in the 1980s after a manufacturer in New York with manufacturing plants in Germany and Asia asked Chubb for insurance. Today, Chubb offers a wide variety of both commercial and personal insurance products.
In Insure.com’s 2022 homeowners insurance company ranking, Chubb was No. 5 in the average premium category.
