100 years old and still going strong!
Happy New Year! It’s a big one for us—our centennial year! We are thrilled to be celebrating this landmark anniversary and would like to express our deep gratitude to our clients for choosing to work with us for so many years.
As part of our celebration, throughout the year we’ll be posting a number of stories about Moreton—our founding, history, employees, and capabilities. Here’s a bit of Moreton-related trivia to start things off.
- We were founded in 1910 by J.B. Moreton.
- When we were founded, we had a four-digit phone number: Wasatch 4472.
- Our offices were located in downtown Salt Lake: 206–207 Boston Building, considered one of Utah’s first sky scrapers.
- We got our start as a bonding agent for Wasatch Front contractors and quickly expanded to offer fire, automobile, plate glass, parcel post, life, accident & health, fidelity & surety bonds, burglary insurance, liability, workmen’s compensation, steam boiler, and elevator insurance.
- Some of our clients have been with us for more than 60 years.
