==History==
==History==
The earliest predecessor of Delta Lloyd, the ''Hollandsche Societeit van Levensverzekeringen'', was founded in 1807. In 1967 it merged with the ''Amsterdamsche Maatschappij van Levensverzekeringen'' and was renamed ''Delta''. And in 1969 Delta merged with NedLloyd (not to be confused with the [[P&O Nedlloyd|shipping company of the same name]]). In 1973 all shares in Delta were bought by the British firm [[Commercial Union]] (now part of [[Aviva]]). In 1999 Delta Lloyd merged with OHRA, the resulting company being renamed to Delta Lloyd Group in 2002. In 2016 Delta Lloyd discontinued as such after being acquired by [[NN Group]].

In 1966, it merged with the ''Amsterdamsche Maatschappij van Levensverzekeringen''- also known as Amstleven and was renamed ''Delta''. The "Hollandsche Societeit" had a few non life companies, like the "Koepel" and "Bataafsche", while Amstleven had acquired the Arnhemsche Verzekering maatschappij N.V. in 1964. Daughter of the Arnhemsche was the specialist pleasurecraft insurer "Nereus.
Before the "Delta" group could consolidate properly in 1967, Delta merged with NedLloyd (not to be confused with the [[P&O Nedlloyd|shipping company of the same name]]).
As all offices of the various companies were spread around Amsterdam- CBD - within the canal belt - it was decided to build a new head office in Amsterdam Slotervaart at the Nachtwachtlaan. All non life business moved there in 1969. In 1973, all shares in Delta were bought by the British firm [[Commercial Union]] (now part of [[Aviva]]). In 1999, Delta Lloyd merged with OHRA, the resulting company being renamed to Delta Lloyd Group in 2002. In 2016, Delta Lloyd discontinued as such after being acquired by [[NN Group]].
