ECRD was founded in January 2007 by a group of people who met through a knitting circle, and a posting on Craigslist. [2] By January 2010, the league had around 80 skaters. [3]

In the spring of 2016, the league changed its name to Emerald City Roller Derby to promote inclusivity and community. [4]

Emerald City Junior Derby, formerly the Junior Gems, junior roller derby league is an offshoot of ECRD. [5] [6]
