History
The league was founded in 1979. After years of stability as a ten-team league, 2009 saw the league add Remsen-Union (formerly of the Western Valley Activities Conference) and Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn (formerly a Siouxland Conference member).[2] In 2010, Sergeant Bluff-Luton, the lone 3A school in the conference, left the conference to join the Missouri River Activities Conference, which contains four large schools in nearby Sioux City and two Council Bluffs schools.[3] Spalding Catholic merged with Gehlen Catholic before the 2013-14 school year.[4] Trinity Christian of Hull took Spalding Catholic's spot in the schedule.[5][6] The War Eagle Conference accepted Harris-Lake Park and Clay Central-Everly at the beginning of the 2014-15 and 2015-16 school years, respectively, after the dissolution of the Cornbelt Conference.
