J.T. Rosborough Insurance in Ellsworth, Maine
J.T. Rosborough’s History
The history of J.T. Rosborough, Inc. is deeply rooted in Maine’s insurance landscape, evolving from its inception in 1952 when John T. Rosborough acquired the C.C. Burrell & Son and George Mahoney agencies, with origins dating back to the early 1800s. This merger established Rosborough as Maine’s oldest active agency and set the foundation for a family legacy in the insurance industry.
Under the stewardship of John’s sons, Mark and Duncan, who took ownership in 1985, the agency solidified its reputation for excellence, community service, and a commitment to the growth of Ellsworth and Hancock County.
