The Baltimore Mutual Aid Society of Baltimore City was founded in 1882 by five businessmen. Their first home office was a small brick building in downtown Baltimore. In 1900, the directors changed the name of the company to “The Baltimore Life Insurance Company of Baltimore City.” During the Great Depression, the company showed its faith in the future by demolishing its original four-story home office building and erecting a 12-story building in its place.
Today, Baltimore Life insures more than 300,000 individuals, families and businesses in communities all across America. Their home office is now located in Owings Mills, Maryland, and they operate in 49 states and the District of Columbia. The company continues to deliver products and services, including fixed annuities, that provide financial protection to the middle-income segment of the U.S. population.
