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:
“I think that Richard Nixon will go down in history as a true folk hero, who struck a vital blow to the whole diseased concept of the revered image and gave the American virtue of irreverence and skepticism back to the people.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“False history gets made all day, any day,
the truth of the new is never on the news
False history gets written every day
...
the lesbian archaeologist watches herself
sifting her own life out from the shards she’s piecing,
asking the clay all questions but her own.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“You treat world history as a mathematician does mathematics, in which nothing but laws and formulas exist, no reality, no good and evil, no time, no yesterday, no tomorrow, nothing but an eternal, shallow, mathematical present.”
