The California State Automobile Association (CSAA) Insurance Company began as the CSAA Inter-Insurance Bureau, which was established in 1914. Its initial purpose was to give automobile insurance policies to its members. The CSAA itself began in 1900, and was affiliated to the American Automobile Association (AAA) in 1907. In 1974, CSAA also began to offer homeowner insurance. Currently, the California Automobile Association is the second largest affiliate of AAA and offers automobile, home, and personal umbrella insurance to members. Though the name is California State Automobile Association, its operations extend even to Nevada and Utah. Hence, CSAA is also alternatively called the AAA Northern California, Nevada, and Utah (AAA NCNU).
