History
The League grew out of the Wrexham and District League, which ran during the early years of the twentieth century. At that time the senior clubs in the Wrexham area played in English leagues such as The Combination and the Birmingham & District League. Their reserve sides, along with local amateur teams, contested the Wrexham and District League.
In the inter-war years, the new Welsh National League with its various sections was organised. Clubs from the Wrexham area, and a little beyond, joined the Northern Section.
The financial strain proved too severe for several of the clubs in the Wrexham district, and after World War II they re-organised as the Welsh National League (Wrexham Area).

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“Man watches his history on the screen with apathy and an occasional passing flicker of horror or indignation.”
—Conor Cruise O’Brien (b. 1917)
“What you don’t understand is that it is possible to be an atheist, it is possible not to know if God exists or why He should, and yet to believe that man does not live in a state of nature but in history, and that history as we know it now began with Christ, it was founded by Him on the Gospels.”
—Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
