History
The Northern Tasmanian Football League (NTFL) was founded in 1987 to replace the former Northern Tasmanian Football Association (NTFA) - no relation to the current NTFA - and the North Western Football Union (NWFU) which suffered as a result of the defection of clubs joining the new TFL Statewide League in 1986.
In 1986, North Launceston and East Launceston joined the TFL Statewide League, with a third NTFA club, City-South merging with East Launceston midway through that season.
The NWFU lost Devonport and Burnie to the Statewide League at the conclusion of the 1986 season.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“The history of the Victorian Age will never be written: we know too much about it.”
—Lytton Strachey (1880–1932)
