Capital Insurance Group

Protecting Our Neighbors in the West Since 1898. It all started in picturesque Ventura, California. Near the turn of the century, farming and ranching had a rich and deeply rooted history in the area and was the most important economic activity in the region. In 1898, Ventura County Mutual Fire Insurance Company was formed by a group of prosperous California farmers. They needed a way to provide coverage that would protect them from disastrous claims – especially fire. From these humble beginnings, the company grew, merged, and evolved through the years into Capital Insurance Group® (CIG), the leading regional property and casualty insurer serving the Western United States.
