Farquhar and Black Insurance Agency, one of the oldest insurance agencies in America, has been providing Massachusetts Insurance for individuals and businesses since 1854. Our company has helped the residents of Massachusetts through the great fires: Boston in 1872, Lynn in 1889 and 1981, Salem in 1914 and the Danvers Chemical Fire in 2006. We have been here for you from the Great Molasses Flood of 1919, during the blizzard of 1978, to the Northeast Tornado outbreak of 2011. We were here for you yesterday, we’re here for you today, and we’ll be here for you tomorrow.
Like any agency, we are only as successful as the companies we represent. Representing companies that are even older than us (Merrimack Mutual – 1828, Quincy Mutual – 1851 & Travelers Insurance – 1853) to businesses that were initially formed to meet the unique needs of the Massachusetts auto insurance consumer (Commerce – 1972 and Safety – 1979) we have the insurance markets that will provide you homeowners insurance and car insurance at the lowest price possible.
For your business insurance, in addition to those fine Massachusetts-centric companies, we represent national carriers such as Travelers, US Assure (Zurich), Foremost, AmTrust, USLI, Philadelphia, and Markel. Additionally, through our long-standing business relationships, we have access to virtually any company in the world including CNA, Lloyds, QBE, Scottsdale and many, many others. We have the knowledge and experience to know which company is best suited to your unique insurance needs. We will work with you to tailor a Massachusetts insurance program that provides you real peace of mind.
