== History ==
As early Dedham, Massachusetts residents were establishing new farms and businesses, it quickly became apparent that the community needed financial protection against various risks, especially the peril of fire. As a result, the Norfolk Mutual Fire Insurance Company was established by a group of prominent citizens, electing John Endicott as the company's first president. The company quickly grew and evolved with the industry, expanding to various states in the Northeast, while being subject to ever changing regulation. The growing complexity of American property and casualty insurance brought on new coverages, new protocol for storms, and product enhancements. Some of these enhancements included the onset of comprehensive insurance packages which constituted the forerunners of today's common homeowners and businessowners policies. In the 1950s with the company doing business in 26 states, the group constructed their current headquarters building along the Charles River, and Homer, a black French Poodle, became the company's mascot. The Norfolk & Dedham Group became known locally for Homer, giving out a live black poodle at national conventions. The Group eventually withdrew from many less profitable states, and now focuses on general P&C insurance in New England, New Jersey, New York, and farmowners policies in Arkansas. About 350 independent agencies sell Norfolk & Dedham insurance, which employs about 135 people, and manages roughly $500 million in assets.
