Met Life, one of the best-known insurance providers in the United States, if not the world, was founded in 1863. Formed by a group of New York City businessmen, it was originally called the National Union Life and Limb Insurance Company. Many of its first customers were soldiers who were fighting in the Civil War, and who needed insurance coverage in case of injury. In 1868, Met Life switched its focus to life insurance coverage.
