From its inception in 1987 through to 2004 the league had been known as North Midlands 1. Ahead of the 2004–05 season restructuring saw the league split into two regional divisions - North Midlands (North) and North Midlands (South) 1. The northern section was cancelled after just one season and the majority of teams transferred into the new Midlands 5 West (North). At the end of the 2005–06 season the southern section (and North Midlands leagues) were cancelled for good, and the teams transferred into a variety of divisions based on final table standings, including Midlands 5 (West North), Midlands 5 West (South), Midlands 6 West (North) and Midlands 6 West (South-West).
