The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc.
An insurer and financial-services firm that protects homes, cars, businesses, and workers' groups, offering property-and-casualty coverage and benefits across the US. Founded in 1810 by merchants meeting at a Hartford inn to guard their warehouses against fire, it grew out of the Connecticut city that became known as the "Insurance Capital." Its stag logo traces back to a policy it issued to Abraham Lincoln in 1861, and the animal echoes the city's name—a "hart" is a male deer.
