Company Bio

First American traces its roots to 1889, when Orange County, California — a rural, undeveloped area at the time — split off from the county of Los Angeles. Two firms opened to handle title matters in the brand-new county. Five years later, C.E. Parker, a local businessman, succeeded in merging the two competitors into a single entity. He was named president of the resulting company — Orange County Title Company — the immediate predecessor to today’s First American Title Insurance Company, the largest subsidiary of First American Financial Corporation. During its first 70 years, the company’s growth paralleled that of Orange County — modest, but steady. It earned a reputation for diligence, thoroughness and friendly, personal service. In 1924, it became one of the first abstract companies in California to qualify to issue policies of title insurance.
