Service Insurance Group – Victoria, Texas
Town History
At Service Insurance Group, we’re proud to serve the community of Victoria, Texas—one of the oldest and most historically rich cities in the state. Founded in 1824 by the empresario Martín De León, Victoria was named after Guadalupe Victoria, the first president of Mexico. This city's origins are deeply tied to both Mexican and Texan heritage, playing an essential role during the Texas Revolution. Today, the historic downtown district preserves much of this legacy, with landmarks like the 1892 Victoria County Courthouse and DeLeon Plaza offering a window into the past. Locals and visitors alike enjoy strolling through these beautifully preserved areas, where architecture and culture converge. One especially beloved institution is Fossati’s Delicatessen, operating since 1882, which serves as both a dining destination and a testament to Victoria’s long-standing community traditions. At Service Insurance Group, we find deep meaning in serving such a storied town and contributing to its continued growth and security.
