Dexter & Company, founded in 1876 by George J. Dexter in Dallas, Texas, is recognized as one of the oldest insurance agencies in the region and a pioneer in risk management. From its inception during the city's bustling Reconstruction Era, the company has grown alongside Dallas, which evolved from a small town into a major economic hub.
