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:
“In every election in American history both parties have their clichés. The party that has the clichés that ring true wins.”
—Newt Gingrich (b. 1943)
“In history an additional result is commonly produced by human actions beyond that which they aim at and obtain—that which they immediately recognize and desire. They gratify their own interest; but something further is thereby accomplished, latent in the actions in question, though not present to their consciousness, and not included in their design.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art’s audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.”
—Henry Geldzahler (1935–1994)
