The ECC was founded in 1970 with Berlin, Hortonville, New London, Omro, Ripon, Waupaca, Weyauwega and Winneconne as the original members. In 1973, Weyauwega left for the Central Wisconsin Conference (CWC) and was replaced by former CWC member Little Chute the following year. In 1979, New London left to join the Bay Conference in exchange for former CWC member Wautoma. In 1995, Waupun joined for football only as Wautoma transferred to the Flyway Conference for football. In 1999, Hortonville, Little Chute and Waupaca joined the newly formed Valley 8 Conference, while Waupun became a full-time member. That year, Laconia and Markesan also joined the conference. In 2001, the ECC merged with the Flyway Conference. The conference was briefing named the East Central-Flyway Conference and consisted of two divisions: the Rivers and the Lakes. The conference was restructured again in 2006 as the Flyway Conference split with the ECC. The conference was fully disbanded in 2007 with four of the remaining ECC teams joining former Valley 8 Conference teams to form the Eastern Valley Conference.
During the realignment of several conferences within northeastern Wisconsin, eight schools were joined to form a new conference. Members included: Berlin, Campbellsport, Kewaskum, Kettle Moraine Lutheran, Plymouth, Ripon, Waupun and Winneconne. The members choose to name the new conference the East Central Conference as several members were once part of the original ECC. In 2021 It was presented by Berlin and Ripon to request moving the two schools to the nearby South Central Conference due to declining enrollment and finishing near the bottom in most sports. It was also requested by Winneconne to move the growing school to the Bay Conference as long as West De Pere left as it requested to leave. Both request were denied by the WIAA Task force due to no solution to move Plymouth, Kewaskum, Kettle Moraine Lutheran and Waupun. In December 2023 a similar request was filed on the likes of Berlin, Ripon and Winneconne, however Kettle Moraine Lutheran requested to move the growing school to the Metro Classic and Kewaskum and Plymouth to the North Shore and sending Waupun to the Capitol Conference. After some deliberation the final decision was moving Berlin and Ripon to the South Central, Waupun to the Capitol and Kettle Moraine Lutheran, Kewaskum and Plymouth would form the Glacier Trails Conference with Sheboygan South, Port Washington, West Bend East and West Bend West once again disbanding the East Central Conference.

In 2001, the conference merged with the Wisconsin Flyway Conference to form the East Central-Flyway. At that time, the conference was split into two divisions: the Lakes and the Rivers. The divisions were in place until 2006 when several teams moved to different conferences.
