It commenced business on January 17, 1879, under the name of Theresa Mutual Fire Insurance Company. The original office was in the back of a building located at the corner of Hwy 175 and Hwy 28 which has since been torn down. In 1964, an office was built at 109 W. Rock River Street. The name of the company was changed from Theresa Mutual Fire Insurance Company to Theresa Mutual Insurance Company in 1996. A new 1600 sq. ft. office building was constructed in 2009 on property owned by Theresa Mutual next door at 107 W. Rock River Street.
