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:
“The history of work has been, in part, the history of the worker’s body. Production depended on what the body could accomplish with strength and skill. Techniques that improve output have been driven by a general desire to decrease the pain of labor as well as by employers’ intentions to escape dependency upon that knowledge which only the sentient laboring body could provide.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“Every library should try to be complete on something, if it were only the history of pinheads.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
“Let us not underrate the value of a fact; it will one day flower in a truth. It is astonishing how few facts of importance are added in a century to the natural history of any animal. The natural history of man himself is still being gradually written.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
