History

The conference was founded in 1967 by Alburnett, Central City, Center Point, East Buchanan, Edgewood-Colesburg, Maquoketa Valley, North Linn, and Springville. In 1974, the Tri-Rivers added Starmont. Jesup joined the league in 1987. In 1989, Center Point merged with Urbana, but the new school remained in the conference. Jesup left the league in 1998. In 2003, the conference expanded to 12 with the addition of Anamosa, Cascade, and Monticello from a struggling Big Bend Conference. Anamosa and Center Point-Urbana have since left the conference for the WaMaC in 2007.
