History

The 4-C Conference was organized in 1934 by four small high schools on the outskirts of the Milwaukee suburbs: Cedarburg, Juneau, Menomonee Falls and Pewaukee. [1] The conference was named after the four counties in southeastern Wisconsin (Dodge, Ozaukee, Washington and Waukesha) where member schools were located. [2] Hartland joined from the Little Six Conference and Slinger joined from the Fox Valley Tri-County League in 1935, bringing conference membership to six schools. [3] Grafton was also invited to join the 4-C Conference that year, but ultimately decided to remain in the Kettle Moraine Conference. [4] The 4-C Conference operated as a six-member circuit for eighteen years before disbanding in 1953. Cedarburg and Menomonee Falls joined with independents Port Washington and Watertown to form the Braveland Conference, [5] Juneau joined the Madison Suburban Conference, [6] and the remaining three schools (Hartland, Pewaukee and Slinger) joined the Southeastern Wisconsin Conference.
