History
The Southwest Wisconsin Conference was formed when the WIAA split the former Southwest Athletic League I and Southwest Athletic League II (SWAL I and SWAL II). In 2002, Cuba City had asked for a realignment of SWAL, and under the conference constitution, this was to be done by placing the seven largest schools in SWAL I and the seven smallest in SWAL II. Under this arrangement, Boscobel High School would be reassigned to the SWAL I Conference, and the school resisted the proposal. In 2004, representatives of each school met to discuss possible solutions, and it was decided that SWAL I and SWAL II would cease to exist. Instead, beginning in the 2005-2006 school year, the six schools from Dodgeville, Lancaster, Platteville, Prairie du Chien, Richland Center, and River Valley would be part of a new conference, later named the SWC. The remaining eight schools, Boscobel, Cuba City, Darlington, Fennimore, Iowa-Grant, Mineral Point, Riverdale, and Southwestern, would become the Southwest Athletic League (SWAL).
