The Division of Insurance was created in 1929 within the Department of Investment (ch. 277) as a federation of five independent departments in order that these agencies might be represented on the Governor's Council. The word division was substituted for department in the title of these agencies to make the form of organization correspond with that of other state departments. Each division remained an autonomous unit, with no change of organization resulting from the creation of the Department of Investment.
