History
The Lehigh Valley Conference was founded November 14, 2001, rejoining most of the 12 schools that had formerly competed at various times between 1976 and 1997 in the East Penn Conference before five schools left that league to join the Mountain Valley Conference (MVC). (Phillipsburg High School had previously left the East Penn Conference and moved into a New Jersey league in 1994 so as to be eligible for NJISAA football playoffs.) Ten of these schools reunited to form the Lehigh Valley Conference, along with Nazareth Area High School from the MVC, which had competed in the neighboring Colonial League before moving to the MVC. One more former East Penn Conference school was admitted to the new conference in February 2002. Conference play began with the 2002-03 school year.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“All history attests that man has subjected woman to his will, used her as a means to promote his selfish gratification, to minister to his sensual pleasures, to be instrumental in promoting his comfort; but never has he desired to elevate her to that rank she was created to fill. He has done all he could to debase and enslave her mind; and now he looks triumphantly on the ruin he has wrought, and say, the being he has thus deeply injured is his inferior.”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“It is my conviction that women are the natural orators of the race.”
—Eliza Archard Connor, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 9, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“There is a history in all men’s lives,
Figuring the natures of the times deceased,
The which observed, a man may prophesy,
With a near aim, of the main chance of things
As yet not come to life.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
