Our History
 Eagle Point Mutual was started by a group of farmers in Chippewa county June 7, 1879.They formed the Eagle Point Fire Insurance Company because of the substantial savings on premiums compared to the larger out of state insurance companies at the time.
Eagle Point opened for business with 38 charter members insuring assets of $52135.00.
Many of their descendants are still policy holders today. After one year there were seventy policies issued with no cancellations and no losses. The company was licensed to write insurance in the townships of Eagle Point, Bloomer, Auburn, Wheaton, Lafayette, Anson, Edson and Sigel of Chippewa County, Wisconsin
The first loss for the company came in 1880. It was for $3.00 which was divided equally among all the policy holders. This form of post assessment of premium was used until 1941 when they changed to the current method of advanced premium collection.
The company ran the business out of the home of their first president W.B. Bartlett. In 1920 they moved to the city of Chippewa Falls. After moving to several locations in the city they purchased their current location at 23 West Central Street in 1965.
