After the collapse of Welsh National League (North) structure in 1930 junior clubs in north Caernarfonshire were left in an uncertain position. Plans to set up a new league came to fruition and the following clubs featured in the league for the first season of 1930–31, with Llechid Celts being crowned champions.[1]
The league ran until 1937 when, with membership reduced to seven clubs, it disbanded.[1] Efforts to revive the league the following year were unsuccessful.[1] Following the Second World War the league reformed as the Gwyrfai League for 1945-46 before reverting to its original name until the end of the 1949–50 season.[1] The competition formally changed the name to the Caernarfon & District League for the 1950–51 season to recognise the new geographical focus of the league.[1]
