Barton Mutual Insurance Company was established in 1894 as a single-county farm fire insurer called the Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Barton County, Missouri. The office was in Liberal, Missouri. The company purchased the Farmers State Bank building on the west side of Main Street in Liberal and moved into the building in 1929. The company continues to operate using the original building and has expanded into buildings on each side. Barton Mutual now occupies seven buildings on Main Street and owns the building where the Post Office is located. The Banking Act of 1933 brought about changes to the farm mutuals of Missouri. Federal loan agencies required uniform standard insurance policies as collateral. No mutuals in the state used such standards. After a conference with the National Mutual Association, the companies voted to accept a uniform standard policy, and the Land Bank agreed to accept mutual polices as collateral. Barton became one of the first companies to meet the Land Bank requirements. In June 1971, the company changed its name to Barton County Mutual Insurance Company and expanded the charter to write state-wide. Barton County Mutual assumed management of Cape Mutual Insurance in Cape Girardeau in 1982, and Owensville Mutual Insurance in Owensville was added in 1986 to form the Barton Mutual Group. Both companies were moved to Liberal in 1997 and 1999 respectively. In 2001, the company changed its name from Barton County Mutual Insurance Company to Barton Mutual Insurance Company and Owensville Mutual was renamed Gateway Mutual Insurance. The three companies were merged into one under the name Barton Mutual Insurance Company as of January 1, 2012. Today, Barton Mutual continues to provide property and casualty coverage throughout the state of Missouri, operating from Main Street in Liberal. More than 420 agency locations in the state function as points of sale for Barton Mutual Insurance.
