| As far as the company's evolution in Ohio...in 1954, Robert Swadey started Midland Title Security,
Inc., a small title agency, with a chair and a folding card table. Later through the purchase of Commerce Title,
Celtic Title, and Colonial Title, the company grew to be one of the largest title agencies in Ohio. First American
purchased Swadey's company in 1982 and proceeded to earn the Number One position in Ohio title premium market
share. |
