Location of Original Flambeauland Conference Members

The Flambeauland Conference was formed in the aftermath of World War II by six small high schools in northwestern Wisconsin: Hannibal, Hawkins, Ingram-Glen Flora, Lake Holcombe, Tony and Weyerhaeuser.[1] It was named for its original member schools’ proximity to the Flambeau River, and members were located in three counties (Chippewa, Rusk and Taylor). Because of the small size and remote location of its members, the Flambeauland Conference sponsored baseball as a fall sport in place of football.[2] Membership remained stable for the first five years of competition, until Weyerhaeuser returned to the Lakeland Conference in 1951.[3] After Hawkins’ move to the similarly named Flambeau League in 1952,[4][5] the Flambeauland Conference continued with four schools until its dissolution in 1955.[6] Ingram-Glen Flora joined the Flambeau League immediately after the Flambeauland Conference was disbanded, while the other three schools became independents before eventually joining other conferences.
