Cincinnati Equitable Life Insurance Company was established in 1963 with the name, Nathan Hale Life Insurance Company in Springfield, Illinois. The current owners purchased the insurer in 1982. The Company was rebranded as Cincinnati Equitable Life Insurance Company in 1989 to correspond to the name of its sister company, Cincinnati Equitable Insurance Company, which was established in 1826 and, by the way, is the oldest insurance company west of the Allegheny Mountains. Both organizations are owned by Cincinnati Equitable Companies, Inc., an Ohio based holding company and offer burial insurance for seniors.
The Cincinnati Equitable companies are owned and operated by the W. G. Alpaugh family which, as a fourth generation insurance family, has been offering reliable insurance products to Midwesterners for almost a century. Cincinnati Equitable Life Insurance Company is headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio and maintains its historical respect for traditional and sturdy Midwestern values.
