History
The Allen County Athletic Conference (ACAC) began with eight schools from Adams (Adams Central), Allen (Carroll, Heritage, Leo, Woodlan), DeKalb (Eastside), Wells (Norwell), and Whitley (Churubusco) Counties. The conference went to a two division format in 1971 with the addition of Homestead and Southern Wells, new schools formed by consolidation. That format ended in 1975, and since then the conference has been between seven and nine teams, with the current lineup's only change since 1989 being the addition of Garrett in 2005. Jay County will join the conference beginning with the 2014-15 school year.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“... the history of the race, from infancy through its stages of barbarism, heathenism, civilization, and Christianity, is a process of suffering, as the lower principles of humanity are gradually subjected to the higher.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
