Avery Hall Insurance celebrates 100 years of local service

SALISBURY, MD — Avery Hall Insurance, a cornerstone of the Delmarva Peninsula’s business community, is proudly celebrating 100 years of service in 2025. Founded in 1925, the firm has grown from a small, local agency into a leading independent insurance provider with a century-long reputation for excellence, trust, and community commitment.

With headquarters in Salisbury, Maryland, Avery Hall Insurance has expanded over the decades to multiple locations, providing personalized insurance solutions for individuals, families, and businesses across the region. From home and auto coverage to commercial, life, health, and benefits packages, the company has remained dedicated to helping clients protect what matters most.

“What has made us strong for 100 years is the belief that people matter,” said Joe Gast, President and CEO of Avery Hall Insurance. “We’ve built relationships across generations. Our commitment to personalized service, integrity, and innovation has allowed us to adapt and thrive in an ever-changing industry.”

Founded by Avery W. Hall, the agency started with a simple promise: to serve clients with honesty and dedication. That legacy has carried through four generations of leadership and a staff known for professional expertise and community involvement.

To mark the centennial milestone, Avery Hall hosted a  celebratory event Thursday in Salisbury. Throughout the year, Avery Hall is hosting community appreciation days, charitable partnerships, and a historical retrospective highlighting the agency’s evolution since 1925.

As part of its celebration, Avery Hall Insurance is also reaffirming its commitment to the future by investing in technology, continuing staff development, and expanding its community outreach programs.

“Our past has shaped us, but our eyes are on the future,” said Gast. “We are honored to celebrate 100 years and look forward to continuing our mission of protecting and serving our community for generations to come.”
