GEICO, the Government Employees Insurance Company, operates under dedicated ZIP code 20810 from its corporate headquarters campus in Bethesda, Maryland. Founded in 1936 by Leo Goodwin Sr. in San Antonio, Texas, the company relocated to the Washington, D.C. area in 1937 to capitalize on the concentration of federal employees, its original target market. The iconic Chevy Chase headquarters opened in 1959, designed by architect Vincent G. Kling in the International Style with landscaped grounds, terraced parking, and distinctive flying saucer light fixtures. This postal designation has served GEICO headquarters for over two decades.
The company expanded beyond federal employees in 1974 after computerized driving records became widely available, eventually becoming one of the largest auto insurers in the United States. Now a subsidiary of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (Buffett first invested in 1951), GEICO maintains its headquarters at One GEICO Plaza. Bethesda serves as the valid mailing city for this designation.
