Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.
One of the top life insurance companies in the United States. Headquartered in New York. Founded in New York in 1868 as a spin-off of the life insurance division of National Travelers Insurance Co. (established in 1866). In 1879, it became a company specializing in postal life insurance, expanding its market in the field of small monthly premium insurance for workers, and by the end of the 19th century had surpassed the earlier Prudential Insurance Company. After merging with People's Industrial Life Insurance Company in 1993, it integrated life insurance companies around the country, and by 1909 it had become the industry leader.
