The Scenic Bluffs Conference was formed in 1979 when the larger Scenic Central Conference split into two smaller conferences from its existing Northern and Southern divisions.[1] The core of the Scenic Bluffs membership came from the Southern Division of the former Scenic Central (Bangor, Brookwood, Cashton, Hillsboro, New Lisbon and Wonewoc-Center). Necedah joined from the Central State Conference, and Royall (who had previously been a Scenic Central member) joined from the Coulee Conference to round out the Scenic Bluffs Conference's membership roster.[2] Membership has not experienced any changes over the history of the conference.
