Central Association / Iowa State League

Central Association / Iowa State League history

Class D 1904-1917
Class C 1947-1949

These two leagues did not operate contiguously: the Iowa State League ran from 1904-1907 and then was renamed the Central Association, which ran from 1908 through 1917. The Central Association, which included some of the cities from the old Iowa State League, was revived in 1947 and was active for three seasons.
