The History of Harbour and Norris Insurance Agency

In 1958 Dave Norris began training Robert Drew in the art of selling Life and Health insurance door to door.  As Robert began to work as an agent he realized his customers wanted more, they wanted their homes and automobiles insured as well. Robert started his own business with the help of his mother who became a licensed agent and the Dorothy Burr Insurance Agency was born.  Many years later Robert encouraged Dave to go into the Property and Casualty business which Dave did, starting “Norris Insurance Agency” from his home in South Meadow Village in Carver. 

In 1977 Robert and Dorothy purchased “Harbour Insurance Agency,” located at the time in Scituate Harbor. In 1985 Harbour Insurance became incorporated and over the years the family business grew, buying out four agencies including “Norris Insurance Agency” in 1993.  After Dave Norris retired, the company retained the name Norris Insurance Agency. The company opened the Norris Insurance office in Carver Square next to the post office and Robert’s son Douglas was hired to run it.

Now Doug's son Joshua has joined the business and his daughter Samantha has created the company websites. Norris Insurance continues to be a growing and successful family business.
