League history
1940s
- The NOL was formed in 1944 as the third-oldest high school league in Ohio. The original members were Bellevue, Bucyrus, Crestline, Galion, Norwalk, Shelby, Upper Sandusky and Willard.
1950s
- In 1954, Crestline left and was replaced by Tiffin Columbian.
2000s
- Bucyrus left after the 2001-02 school year for the North Central Conference and was replaced by Fostoria during winter of the 2002-03 school year.
- In February and March 2009, Upper Sandusky and Galion were accepted as the ninth and tenth members of the North Central Conference, beginning in fall 2011. Fostoria applied for membership in the Suburban Lakes League, but was initially turned down.
- In June 2009, the member schools of the NOL voted to accept Sandusky into the league, with competition beginning in 2011.
- On August 17, 2009, Fostoria voted to join the newly-formed Northern Buckeye Conference in 2011.
- Clear Fork (Ohio Cardinal Conference) and Vermilion (West Shore Conference) are brought up as potential candidates to bring the league's membership back to 8 schools.[1]
2010s
- After a proposal to merge with the Sandusky Bay Conference was turned down by SBC principals, the NOL sought out additional members for their league.
- Vermilion was added as a future member in 2011, but their admission date has yet to be decided.[2]
