      History

      The first Inspector of Insurance Companies was appointed on July 1, 1879, under the jurisdiction of the Provincial Treasurer of Ontario. In 1888, the Office was transferred to the jurisdiction of the Provincial Secretary where it remained until 1896. From 1896 to 1899, the Inspector reported to the Ontario Minister of Crown Lands. Finally, in 1899, the Office was moved to the Ontario Department of the Attorney General, where it remained for the rest of its existence.

      With the establishment of a new Ontario Department of Insurance in 1912, the Inspector of Insurance Companies was renamed the Superintendent of Insurance, and established as the head of the Department.
