HISTORY:
The Taylor Agency has been a fixture in Wooster Ohio since its inception in 1920 by A. E. Taylor. Originally the office sold both real-estate and insurance on Buckeye Street in downtown Wooster. Son Ernie Taylor joined the business in 1946 after returning from WWII and worked at the agency until his retirement in 1985. The third generation of the Taylors, David Taylor, joined the business in 1981 and continues today as the managing partner of that location.
Taylor Agency has grown to be a recognized insurance and financial services leader distinguished by both a clear understanding of small town values and leading edge products. Taylor Agency professionals strive every day to exceed your expectations, helping you transition from success to significance with each interaction and transaction.
