College Station Texas
Service Insurance Group – College Station, Texas
Town History
At Service Insurance Group, we’re proud to serve a city as rich in history as College Station. Our community’s roots trace back to the founding of Texas A&M University in 1876—the first public college in the state—which became the beating heart around which the city formed. In fact, our town’s name comes from the railroad station that once served the college grounds, officially designated as “College Station” in 1877. The city itself wasn’t incorporated until 1938, marking the start of local self-governance. Many of the area’s historic neighborhoods, like College Hills and Oakwood, were originally built to house university faculty and staff, lending them a timeless charm. Through initiatives like Project HOLD, College Station actively preserves this vibrant history for future generations. We’re honored to serve a city that respects its past while building toward a strong, secure future.
