In 2025, McConkey proudly celebrates 135 years of serving our clients and community. This milestone reflects the trust you’ve placed in us and the lasting partnerships we’ve built together.
McConkey Insurance & Benefits is proud to announce the celebration of its 135th anniversary in 2025. As an independently owned and operated agency, McConkey has spent over a century building a legacy of trust, integrity, and client-first service.
Founded in 1890, McConkey Insurance & Benefits has grown from a small, local agency to a respected leader in the insurance industry. Throughout its 135-year history, the company has remained committed to its core values—integrity, teamwork, excellence, relationships, innovation, and experience—guiding its mission to provide comprehensive insurance solutions that put clients’ needs first.
“As we reflect on our 135-year history, we are reminded of the enduring relationships we’ve built with our clients, staff, and the community,” said Michael Harter, President & CEO of McConkey Insurance & Benefits. “What makes this milestone particularly special is that we have always remained independently owned, ensuring our focus has always been on the best interests of our clients. Without commissioned sales staff, we’ve been able to provide expert advice and personalized service that truly makes a difference.”
McConkey’s commitment to remaining independent has allowed the agency to focus solely on the needs of its clients, not sales quotas. The company has continuously delivered top-tier risk management, employee benefits, and personal insurance services to individuals, families, and businesses, with a focus on providing innovative solutions that help clients navigate an increasingly complex insurance landscape.
The company’s anniversary marks more than just a celebration of longevity—it’s a testament to its role in the community. Over the years, McConkey has contributed to local initiatives, fostered strong community connections, and supported organizations that make a positive impact in York and beyond.
“Our 135th anniversary is not just a milestone for us, it’s a celebration of the partnerships we’ve formed and the trust our clients have placed in us over the years,” said Michael Harter, “We are excited for the future and are grateful to be part of this incredible community.”
