The Twin Lakes conference was founded by at least the 1960s. The league's early lineup was the following:
Over time all of the members merged with other nearby schools. The league also added Sac City, as smaller schools like Twin Rivers and Gilmore City-Bradgate left the conference. After Albert City-Truesdale left the conference in the mid-80s, the league added Prairie Valley and Lake City-Lohrville (which became Southern Cal). In 1991, the league added Alta-Aurelia and WLVA. In 1995, Alta-Aurelia and Sac City left the conference to help found the Northwest Conference. In 2004, Southeast Webster-Grand was added to the conference from the recently disbanded North Star Conference. Laurens-Marathon left in 2007 for the Northwest Conference, the same year WLVA and Sac City merged to become East Sac County High School. In 2010, RC-L and Southern Cal began sharing all sports, after previously sharing baseball. Sioux Central, formerly of the Northwest Conference, became the first school from the Northwest to actively seek membership into the conference in the summer of 2009. The Northwest had seen many of their schools join with others schools and were bound to see more mergers in the near future. After years of talk, in February 2011, the Twin Lakes agreed to merge with the Northwest Conference effective the 2011-12 school year. The new league maintain the Twin Lakes moniker. Alta-Aurelia, Newell-Fonda, Laurens-Marathon, Sioux Central and Storm Lake St. Mary's will join the conference, which will be split into two divisions, one maintaining the traditional Northwest conference schools and the other keeping the 6 current Twin Lakes members.
