League History

The league was a renamed version Bangor & District League that had run between 1930 and 1937 and again after the Second World War, between 1945 and 1950. The change in name reflected the changing geographic locations of clubs playing in the league.

The first season of the league took place in 1950–51 and featured the following eight sides:

The 1950–51 launch was overshadowed by the formation of a second division to the north's top League, the Welsh League (North). The effect meant that the league did not operate in 1951-52, but was re-formed for the following season with a membership of seven. This number grew to thirteen by the mid-1950s and the league, compared to previous times, prospered. There was a reduction in membership during the early 1960s but this was corrected and by the 1980s the league was well established as one of North Wales' top junior Leagues. Many clubs in the area used the league for their reserve teams and this was particularly the case during the 1980s following the setting up of the Gwynedd League as an intermediate step between the League and the Welsh League (North).

Hit by falling team numbers the league disbanded after the 2013–14 season.
