In common thinking we can say that insurance come into exist take place at the same time from the visible of human society. Financial aspects of human societies can be divided into two types: wealth economies and natural economies or non-wealth. Wealth economic includes markets, money, financial instruments and so on. Natural economic doesn't include money, markets, and financial instruments and so on. Natural economic is more primitive type than wealth economic. According to finding economy and society, we are able to know that insurance took place in the form of helping each other by the people. For example, the people of the community help to build a new one if a house burns down. When the same incident took place to one's neighbor, the other neighbors should help to the infected. Otherwise, neighbors'may not get help in future. This kinds of insurance exit in the 21st century in some country like Nepal, where modern wealth financial aspects with its material is not distributed over a wide area.

Viewing the insurance to the present sense i.e., insurance in a present wealth economy, is part of the financial sphere where early methods of sending or dividing and sharing danger were practiced by Babylonian and Chinese traders as long ago as the 2nd and 3rd millennia BC, respectively. Babylonians made a rule which was recorded in the famous Code of Hammurabi, c. 1750 BC, and was practiced by early Mediterranean sailing merchants. When a merchant used to get a loan to fund his consignment shipped, he should pay the lender an extra amount in exchange for the informal help for formal promise to cancel the loan if the consignment shipped is stolen or lost at sea.
Merchants of China used to travel by showing the treachery by river rapids would again distribute their materials across many vessels to limit the loss due to any single vessel's capsizing. Achaemenian monarchs of Ancient Persia were the first to make sure to their people and made it official by registering the insuring process in governmental notary offices. The insurance tradition was performed each year in beginning of the Iranian New Year; the heads of separate ethnic groups as well as others were willing to take part, presented gifts to the monarch. The common important gift was presented during a special movement. When the gift was worth more than 10,000 Achaemenian gold coins the issue was registered in a special office. This was advantage to those who presented such special gifts. To others, the gift was justly decided the amount or value by the person who confides the court. Then the assessment was an official list in special offices.The purpose of putting in official list was that anytime the person presented the gift registered by the court was in trouble, the monarch and the court would help him. Jahez, a historian and writer, writes in one of his books on ancient Iran: "Whenever the holder of the present is in trouble or wants or need to construct a building, set up a feast, have his children married, etc. the one in charge of this in the court could check the registration. If the registered amount exceeded 10,000 Derrik, he or she could receive an amount of twice as much."
A thousand years later, the people of Rhodes created the concept of the 'general average'. Merchants whose goods or material were being shipped together could pay a proportionally divided premium which could be used to reimburse any merchant whose goods or material was jettisoned during storm or sinkage.Greeks and Romans make the origins of health and life insurance c. 600 AD when they organized guilds called "benevolent societies" which cared for the families and paid funeral expenses of members upon the death. Guilds in the Middle Ages used to serve same kind of purpose. Talmud deals with several aspects of insuring goods. Before insurance was established in the late 17th century, "friendly societies" existed in England, in which people donated some sum of money to the general sum that could be used for emergencies.
Different insurance contracts that are insurance policies which were not bundled with loans or other kinds of contracts were invented in Genoa in the 14th century, as were insurance pools backed by pledges of landed estates. This type of new insurance contract give writes to be different from investment, a separation of roles that first gives useful in marine insurance. Insurance became more difficult in post-Renaissance Europe, and specialized varieties developed.
Some types of insurance were developed in London by the early decades of the 17th century. For example, English colonist Robert Hayman mentions two "policies of insurance" which was taken out with the diocesan Chancellor of London, Arthur Duck. Of the value of '100 each, one relates to the safe arrival of Hayman's ship in Guyana and the other is in regard to "one hundred pounds assured by the said Doctor Arthur Ducke on my life". Hayman's will was signed and sealed on 17 November 1628 but was not proved until 1633. At present the end of the seventeenth century, London's growing material as a centre for trade increased demand for marine insurance. During late 1680s, Edward Lloyd opened a coffee house that became a popular haunt of ship owners, merchants, and ships'captains, and thereby a reliable source of the latest shipping news. It became the meeting place for parties wishing to ensure cargoes and ships, and those willing to underwrite with such ventures. Today, Lloyd's of London remains the leading market (note that it is not an insurance company) for marine and other specialist types of insurance, but it works rather differently than the more familiar kinds of insurance.
Insurance at present can be watched to the Great Fire of London, which in 1666 concludes more than 13,000 houses. The ravage effects of the fire change the development of insurance "from a matter of persuade fully into one of immediate attention, a change of opinion thinking deeply in Sir Christopher Wren's inclusion of a site for 'the Insurance Office' in his new intention for London in 1667." A number of effort fire insurance plan of working came to something unimportant, but in 1681 Nicholas Barbon, and eleven associates, established England's first fire insurance company, the 'Insurance Office for Houses', at the back of the Royal Exchange. Initially, 5,000 homes were insured by Barbon's Insurance Office. First insurance company in the United States underwrote fire insurance and was formed in Charles Town, South Carolina, in 1732. Benjamin Franklin helped to make generally liked and make standard the practice of insurance, especially against fire in the form of very frequent insurance. He founded the Philadelphia Contribution ship for the Insurance of Houses from Loss by Fire in 1752. To make contributions toward fire prevention Franklin's company was the first company. It did not only did his company suggest against certain fire risk, it refused to ensure certain buildings where the risk of fire was too high, such as wooden houses. In the United States, rule of the insurance industry is highly Balkanized, with primary being responsible to the thought by individual state insurance departments. Whereas insurance markets have become under nationally and internationally, state insurance member and operate individually, though at times in concert through a national insurance commissioners' organization. Some of them have called for a dual state and federal regulatory system commonly known as the Optional federal charter (OFC) for insurance similar to that which looks across the state banks and national banks in recent years.
