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:

“Philosophy of science without history of science is empty; history of science without philosophy of science is blind.”
—Imre Lakatos (1922–1974)
“If usually the “present age” is no very long time, still, at our pleasure, or in the service of some such unity of meaning as the history of civilization, or the study of geology, may suggest, we may conceive the present as extending over many centuries, or over a hundred thousand years.”
—Josiah Royce (1855–1916)
