The Hanover Insurance Group, Inc., is one of the oldest continuous businesses in the United States, still operating within its original industry. It was the original name of a property-liability insurance firm born in 1852. It remained a publicly-traded company under that name until the early 1990s, when it changed its name to Allmerica Property & Casualty Companies. In 1996, it spun off Allmerica Financial Corporation as a property and casualty insurance and financial services holding company, which then bought out the original firm and grew to become one of the 500 largest publicly-traded companies of the United States. In 2005, Allmerica Financial Corporation reverted its name back to Hanover.
