Chase and Company began operations in 1884, primarily as an insurance company, but quickly moved into agricultural operations. The company incorporated on August 6, 1914 and reincorporated on July 20, 1948. Chase and Company principal operations were in Florida, but it also did business in Georgia and North Carolina. The stockholders voted to dissolve the company on September 17, 1979. The principal assets of the company were sold to Sunniland for $5.5 million. Other assets were sold and the remaining property was donated to Florida Future Farmers on July 15, 1980.

The series includes minutes of stockholder and directors meetings from the date of incorporation until the company's dissolution. It also includes early ledgers and journals. There is also a single letter book from a month in 1894.
