History :
The idea of insurance has been in practice since ancient days in some form or the other. The first insurance company in the United States provided fire insurance and was formed in Charles Town (modern-day Charleston), South Carolina, in 1732. Benjamin Franklin had standardized the practice of insurance, particularly against fire in the form of perpetual insurance. He founded the Philadelphia Contributionship for the Insurance of Houses from Loss by Fire in 1752.
