The David Chapman Agency was founded by it’s originator , David Chapman in 1937. David,
a farmer looking to supplement his income from the family farm, and provide valuable
coverage of owners of farms and automobiles in the area, was one of the first seven
agents to represent The Farm Bureau Insurance Company, which became The Concord Group
Insurance Company in the 1950's.
David was the town treasurer, replacement U.S. Mail driver, and an agent for The Concord Group
Insurance Company. All these he ran from his farm on Route 1 in Damariscotta, Maine. In 1957
he moved his business to a new location on Elm Street, then to include opening the Western Auto
store he ran. Twenty five years later he sold the store and Insurance Agency to his daughter
Mary, and her husband, John Gallagher. John and Mary Gallagher operated both businesses until
2002 when they sold the auto parts business and concentrated on operating the insurance agency.
John and Mary’s daughter Sarah joined the agency in 2004 as a part time agent. In mid-2012,
Sarah became the third generation to run The David Chapman Agency.

"I believe the best customer service comes from family owned businesses. Since the David Chapman
Insurance Agency is now into a third generation, I am not surprised at the extremely high level
of personal service and advice they provide. I've also found their quotes to be very well priced.
Great service and low premiums sound good to me". Thomas Quaranto
