About Wayne Cooperative Insurance Company
The Wayne Cooperative Insurance Company (Wayne) was originally formed in 1877 by the Wayne County Grange (NY) as the Fire Relief Association of Wayne County to provide fire insurance coverage for its farm members. Coverage was granted on an assessment basis with claims paid annually; all members were billed their pro-rata share of losses and expenses each fall and the company was run from the manager’s kitchen table. Since those humble beginnings, a permanent home office was located in Clyde, NY. Wayne still maintains its ties with the farming community by providing farmowner policies and has expanded into providing homeowner, mobile homeowner, landlord and commercial policies throughout Upstate NY. Directors and employees continue to uphold the company’s traditional tenants of “Mutuality”, “Dependability, “Responsiveness”, “Empathy” and “Conservatism”.
