For over 15 decades, Marsh McLennan has supported enterprise, helping clients survive and grow in changing times.
1871: After the Great Chicago Fire with few properties insured and most insurers unable to meet their obligations, an agency that stresses financial responsibility was clearly needed. Within weeks, the Dan H Bomar Company opened its doors.

1900s: Marsh, McLennan, and Daniel M.Burrows meet and form a partnership. In 1906, Burrows retires, the firm is renamed Marsh & McLennan, and a legendary partnership begins. Various acquisitions and company growth follows.
