Our History

Our History wexford October 31, 2024

In Southeast Ireland lies a town called Wexford.

Wexford sits at the mouth of the River Slaney, which empties into Wexford Harbour. In its earliest history, Wexford Harbour was a major port, exporting fish, cloth, wool and hides. Wexford Harbour was difficult to navigate at times, and it created a natural security for the locals. Large enemy ships could not enter the harbour without running the risk of running aground and sinking.

On March 29, 1929, a young man from Wexford named Thomas Joseph Kelly wanted a change of scenery so he left Ireland and headed across the ocean, finally settling in St. Paul, MN. He raised 9 children in St. Paul, each that went on to be successful in their chosen walk of life.

The Kelly family grew throughout the years, and Thomas’ grandchildren starting moving throughout the United States.

In 2017, Patrick Kelly opened up Wexford Harbour Insurance to pay honor to his grandfather and the place where the Kelly family started.
