The Central Wisconsin Conference was formed in 1926 by six small high schools in two counties (Portage and Waupaca) in central Wisconsin: Amherst, Iola, Little Wolf (later renamed Manawa), Marion, Waupaca and Weyauwega.{{Cite news |date=28 September 1926 |title=Central Wisconsin Sport Conference Formed; 6 Schools |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/192388374/?match=1&terms=%22central%20wisconsin%20conference%22%20amherst |access-date=23 December 2024 |work=Green Bay Press-Gazette |pages=16}} Tigerton and Wittenberg joined the conference in 1927 to create an eight-member circuit.{{Cite news |date=15 March 1928 |title=Wega Winner of Central State Caging League |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/250532654/?match=1&terms=%22central%20wisconsin%20conference%22 |access-date=23 December 2024 |work=Stevens Point Journal |pages=4}} The conference expanded to ten with the entrance of Birnamwood and Rosholt in 1929, and the conference split into Northern and Southern sections:{{Cite news |date=2 October 1929 |title=Sportoscope (see "Enlarged Conference") |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/250588950/?match=1&terms=%22central%20wisconsin%20conference%22%20birnamwood%20rosholt |access-date=23 December 2024 |work=Stevens Point Journal |pages=6}}

This alignment lasted for three years before going back to the original six member schools in 1932, when Birnamwood, Rosholt, Tigerton and Wittenberg joined with Mattoon High School to form the Wolf River Valley Conference.{{Cite news |date=26 April 1932 |title=Five High Schools in New Conference |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/273023094/?match=1&terms=%22wolf%20river%20valley%20conference%22 |access-date=23 December 2024 |work=Wausau Daily Herald |pages=10}} The Central Wisconsin Conference remained the same six schools until the early 1950s.

In 1950, the Central Wisconsin Conference experienced its first changes to membership in nearly two decades, with the entrance of Mosinee and the return of Wittenberg from the Wolf River Valley Conference.{{Cite news |last=Hanson |first=Ed |date=8 April 1950 |title=Looking 'Em Over |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/243838388/?match=1&terms=%22central%20wisconsin%20conference%22%20mosinee%20wittenberg |access-date=23 December 2024 |work=Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune |pages=7}} Mosinee left the Marathon County League in 1949,{{Cite news |date=13 April 1949 |title=Tomahawk, Nekoosa Cagers May Quit Valley, Report |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/12399694/?match=1&terms=%22marathon%20county%20league%22 |access-date=23 December 2024 |work=Rhinelander Daily News |pages=8}} shortly before the merger of the Marathon County and Wood County Leagues into the Marawood Conference. Their stay in the CWC would be brief, lasting only a single season. Mosinee's spot in the CWC would be taken in 1951 by Bonduel,{{Cite news |date=1 December 1951 |title=Rangy Comets Down Marion in CW Loop |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/396062965/?match=1&terms=%22central%20wisconsin%20conference%22%20bonduel |access-date=23 December 2024 |work=Appleton Post-Crescent |pages=14}} who joined after the Mid-Valley Conference disbanded the year prior.{{Cite news |date=18 January 1951 |title=Intra-City Games OK'd By Schools |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/191670994/?match=1&terms=%22mid-valley%20conference%22 |access-date=23 December 2024 |work=Green Bay Press-Gazette |pages=34}} The conference would continue with eight members until the early 1960s. Iola High School merged with Scandinavia High School in 1960, and the new Iola-Scandinavia High School took Iola's place in the conference.{{Cite news |date=9 February 1961 |title=Phants Can Clinch Share of NEW Title |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/189069964/?match=1&terms=%22central%20wisconsin%20conference%22%20standings%20%22iola-scandinavia%22 |access-date=23 December 2024 |work=Green Bay Press-Gazette |pages=3}} A ninth school would be added in 1962, as Wautoma joined after the 7-C Conference dissolved.{{Cite news |date=19 November 1961 |title=Wautoma Joins Central Circuit |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/398366749/?match=1&terms=%22central%20wisconsin%20conference%22%20wautoma |access-date=23 December 2024 |work=Wisconsin State Journal |pages=35}} Bonduel left to join the Northeastern Wisconsin Conference in 1964,{{Cite news |last=Robertson |first=Jim |date=2 November 1963 |title=Bonduel Will Be Smallest NEW Member; Replaces Largest, Preble |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/189061773/?match=1&terms=%22northeastern%20wisconsin%20conference%22%20bonduel |access-date=23 December 2024 |work=Green Bay Press-Gazette |pages=16}} and Wautoma did the same two years later to become a charter member of the short-lived Vacationland Conference.{{Cite news |date=9 April 1965 |title=Wautoma In New League |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/248962289/?match=1&terms=%22vacationland%20conference%22%20wautoma |access-date=23 December 2024 |work=Oshkosh Northwestern |pages=17}} The recently opened high school in Little Chute joined the CWC in 1969,{{Cite news |last=United Press International |date=20 March 1968 |title=Little Chute In Conference |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/240735248/?match=1&terms=%22central%20wisconsin%20conference%22%20%22little%20chute%22 |access-date=23 December 2024 |work=The Sheboygan Press |pages=42}} bringing the loop back up to eight members, but significant changes would be coming in the 1970s.

= 1970-1984 =

Major changes came to Central Wisconsin Conference membership in 1970. Four schools left the conference that year: Waupaca and Weyauwega became charter members of the East Central Conference, and Amherst and Iola-Scandinavia joined the new Central State Conference with former members of the disbanded Central-C Conference and Wolf River Valley Conference. Wittenberg and Birnamwood also consolidated into Wittenberg-Birnamwood High School while retaining Wittenberg's CWC affiliation. Bonduel and Wautoma rejoined the CWC; Bonduel from the NEW Conference and Wautoma from the shuttered Vacationland Conference. A third new member (Shiocton) made their CWC debut, joining from the recently dissolved Little Nine Conference.{{Cite news |last=Walter |first=Tony |date=21 December 1969 |title=High School Realignment Begins To Take Definite Shape in Area |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/188952412/?match=1&terms=%22central%20wisconsin%20conference%22%20realignment |access-date=23 December 2024 |work=Green Bay Press-Gazette |pages=47}} The seven-member group would remain for three seasons before Weyauwega rejoined the CWC in 1973 after leaving the East Central Conference.{{Cite news |last=Lee |first=John |date=6 February 1973 |title=East Central to have 7 teams |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/290739158/?match=1&terms=%22central%20wisconsin%20conference%22%20weyauwega |access-date=23 December 2024 |work=Appleton Post-Crescent |pages=3}} They traded affiliations with Little Chute, who experienced a bump in enrollment after the closing of St. John High School and outgrew the CWC. Little Chute entered the Eastern Wisconsin Conference in 1974.{{Cite news |date=16 June 1973 |title=Mustangs to join ECC |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/248188962/?match=1&terms=%22central%20wisconsin%20conference%22%20%22east%20central%20conference%22%20%22little%20chute%22 |access-date=23 December 2024 |work=19}} Shiocton would leave to join the Central State Conference in 1977,{{Cite news |date=17 February 1976 |title=Shiocton okays sports plan |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/290695423/?match=1&terms=%22central%20state%20conference%22%20shiocton |access-date=23 December 2024 |work=Appleton Post-Crescent |pages=3}} and Wautoma would follow them out two years later for membership in the East Central Conference. Oconto and Oconto Falls moved over from the Bay Conference in 1979 to put the league at seven members, which it would remain at for the next five years.{{Cite news |date=24 February 1978 |title=Shawano is to leave the Valley Conference |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/244636872/?match=1&terms=%22east%20central%20conference%22%20wautoma |access-date=23 December 2024 |work=Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune |pages=6}}

In 1984, Oconto and Oconto Falls both left the Central Wisconsin Conference to join the Packerland Conference, leaving the CWC at five schools. That same year, the twelve-member Central State Conference, another conference of small schools with a similar geographic footprint, was absorbed by the CWC.{{Cite news |last=Goff |first=Tom |date=28 April 1983 |title=WIAA approves CSC, CWC league merger |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/289091558/?match=1&terms=%22central%20wisconsin%20conference%22%20%22central%20state%20conference%22%20realignment |access-date=23 December 2024 |work=Appleton Post-Crescent |pages=34}} To accommodate the expansion and facilitate scheduling, the conference divided into Large and Small School divisions that year:{{Cite news |date=30 December 1984 |title=Prep Cage Standings |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/289400195/?match=1&terms=%22central%20wisconsin%20conference%22%20standings |access-date=23 December 2024 |work=Appleton Post-Crescent |pages=37}}

This arrangement lasted for nearly a decade before the next major realignment. In 2017, the CWC added three schools: Northland Lutheran in Kronenwetter, Pittsville and Wisconsin Valley Lutheran in Mosinee. Northland Lutheran and Pittsville joined from the Marawood Conference while Wisconsin Valley Lutheran previously competed as an independent.{{Cite news |last=Johnson |first=Tim |date=23 June 2016 |title=Proposal would expand CWC to 21 schools |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/198530105/?match=1&terms=%22central%20wisconsin%20conference%22%20pittsville |work=Wausau Daily Herald |pages=B1}} The CWC also dropped the numerical designator from their divisions and split into three seven-member divisions to accommodate the expansion:
