ERIE Celebrates 80th Anniversary

On April 20, 1925, H.O. Hirt and O.G. Crawford opened the doors of the newly licensed Erie Insurance Exchange. This venture was part of the post-World War I entrepreneurial explosion. It was also a personal challenge for these two men.

Eighty years later, the ERIE family of Employees, Agents and Policyholders celebrate that daring beginning. We also celebrate the growth, expansion and service that make up the ERIE story. You can travel through ERIE’s history by way of a colorful and information-packed Historic Timeline of company and world events over the past 80 years.

Learn more about Erie Insurance and the customer-oriented themes that permeate our history. For example:

  • When did ERIE introduce “Xtra features” at no extra cost?
  • How did ERIE manage through the shortages of the World War II era?
  • When did ERIE’s choir record a Christmas album?
  • How did ERIE transform “the combat zone” in Erie, Pa.?

Surround yourself with images and visions of ERIE’s past, present and future as ERIE celebrates 80 years of providing our Policyholders with as near perfect protection, as near perfect service as is humanly possible, and doing so at the lowest possible cost.
