Grand Island and Hastings

On July 4, 1904, George Cowton arrived in Grand Island, NE. He opened the George Cowton Insurance Agency in 1909 providing life, fire, and later automobile insurance. In 1930, he set a record for selling 122 policies in one day! 

The George Cowton Insurance Agency was renamed in 1969 to Cowton Kahrhoff Beachler to reflect the addition of Charles Kahrhoff and Jack Beachler. In the mid-1990s the agency became INSUR, and in 2003 joined First Insurance Group, LLC. Now unified as FNIC, we are still building relationships with our clients as we provide creative risk management solutions, and setting new records!
