The name "Homesteaders" reflects the spirit of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when many were migrating west to find their futures. The pioneers who braved the elements and other perils were considered visionaries and survivalists - ideals well suited for an organization whose membership depended on this kind of resolve.
While Homesteaders was still in its infancy, the leadership of this new society would face one of the most profound periods of economic strife, war, social unrest, and pestillence in American history. Through it all - World War I, the flu epidemic of 1919 and the "Crash of '29" - Homesteaders paid every claim without a single additional assessment or increase in premium to its members. These early tests of our resolve became a benchmark of the tradition of strength that exists yet today.
