The CBC was established in time for the 1974-75 school year. The present-day divisions were created to align schools based on size, and every sport recognizes a champion for each division. The charter members of the Central Buckeye Conference were Bellefontaine, Greenon, London, Northeastern, Shawnee, and Urbana.
In 1977, New school Kenton Ridge joined the CBC becoming the 7th member.
In 1978, London left the CBC after 4 years for the now defunct Central Buckeye League bringing the CBC back to 6 members.
Northwestern would join the CBC in 1982 bringing the conference back to 7 members which would eventually grow to 8 when Tecumseh joined in 1991 from the Greater Miami Valley Conference.
The CBC would remain at 8 members until they added 5 new members in Benjamin Logan, Graham, Miami East and Tippecanoe from the Southwestern Rivers Conference, Indian Lake from the Three Rivers Conference, while Northeastern left for the Ohio Heritage Conference bringing the total number of members to 12.
Miami East would leave to join the Cross County Conference in 2006. They would eventually be replaced by Stebbins who joined in 2007.
The CBC would remain at 12 members until 2016 when both Stebbins and Tippecanoe left to join the Greater Western Ohio Conference. [3] Leaving the CBC with 2 divisions of 5 teams each.
In July 2017, both London's and North Union's Board of Educations have approved their membership for the CBC. [4] London will join the Kenton Trail Division with Bellefontaine, Jonathan Alder, Kenton Ridge, Shawnee, and Tecumseh. North Union will join the Mad River Division with Benjamin Logan, Graham, Indian Lake, Northwestern, and Urbana. Date of entry is undetermined. This move brought the CBC back to 12 members allowing for 2, 6 team divisions which allows for easier scheduling.

Tecumseh was a Shawnee chief and warrior who promoted resistance to the expansion of the United States onto Native American lands. A persuasive orator, Tecumseh traveled widely, forming a Native American confederacy and promoting intertribal unity. Even though his efforts to unite Native Americans ended with his death in the War of 1812, he became an iconic folk hero in American, Indigenous, and Canadian popular history.
Tecumseh's War or Tecumseh's Rebellion was a conflict between the United States and Tecumseh's Confederacy, led by the Shawnee leader Tecumseh in the Indiana Territory. Although the war is often considered to have climaxed with William Henry Harrison's victory at the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811, Tecumseh's War essentially continued into the War of 1812 and is frequently considered a part of that larger struggle. The war lasted for two more years, until 1813, when Tecumseh and his second-in-command, Roundhead, died fighting Harrison's Army of the Northwest at the Battle of the Thames in Upper Canada, near present-day Chatham, Ontario, and his confederacy disintegrated. Tecumseh's War is viewed by some academic historians as the final conflict of a longer-term military struggle for control of the Great Lakes region of North America, encompassing a number of wars over several generations, referred to as the Sixty Years' War.
The Shawnee are an Algonquian-speaking indigenous people of the Northeastern Woodlands. In the 17th century they lived in Pennsylvania, and in the 18th century they were in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana with some bands in Kentucky and Alabama. By the 19th century, they were forcibly removed to Missouri, Kansas, Texas, and ultimately Indian Territory, which became Oklahoma under the 1830 Indian Removal Act.
Simon Kenton was a United States frontiersman and soldier in West Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio. He was a friend of Daniel Boone, Simon Girty, Spencer Records, Thomas S. Hinde, Thomas Hinde, and Isaac Shelby. He served the United States in the Revolution, the Northwest Indian War and the War of 1812. Surviving multiple gantlets and ritual torture, in 1778 he was adopted into the Shawnee people. He married twice and had a total of ten children.

Tecumseh's confederacy was a confederation of native Americans in the Great Lakes region of the United States that began to form in the early 19th century around the teaching of Tenskwatawa. The confederation grew over several years and came to include several thousand warriors. Shawnee leader Tecumseh, the brother of The Prophet, developed into the leader of the group as early as 1808. Together, they worked to unite the various tribes against the European settlers coming across the Appalachian Mountains and onto their land. In November 1811, an American military force under the leadership of William Henry Harrison engaged warriors associated with Tenskwatawa in the Battle of Tippecanoe. Under Tecumseh's leadership, the confederation then went to war with the United States during Tecumseh's War and the War of 1812. However, the confederation fell apart in 1813 following his death at the Battle of the Thames.
