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).

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“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)
“The history of persecution is a history of endeavors to cheat nature, to make water run up hill, to twist a rope of sand.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Don’t you realize that this is a new empire? Why, folks, there’s never been anything like this since creation. Creation, huh, that took six days, this was done in one. History made in an hour. Why it’s a miracle out of the Old Testament!”
—Howard Estabrook (1884–1978)
