Shelter was founded in 1946 as the insurance subsidiary of the Missouri Farmers Association (the same company as MFA Incorporated), and was called M.F.A. Insurance. The Shelter name came from the company's most famous slogan, "M.F.A is your Shield of Shelter". In 1981, the name was changed to Shelter Insurance. The company remained in Columbia. The Shelter Insurance Gardens are located at the company headquarters in Columbia Missouri.
