History

Location of Original Little Five Conference Members

Originally known as the Little Four Conference, the Little Five was formed in 1929 by four small high schools in Dodge County and Jefferson County in southeastern Wisconsin: Hustisford, Johnson Creek, Juneau and Reeseville. Fox Lake joined the conference in 1930 to give the conference its fifth member, making necessary the name change to the Little Five Conference. Juneau left the conference in 1932 to compete as an independent and were replaced by Hartland after their exit from the Little Seven Conference a few years earlier. In 1934, Fox Lake left the conference to become members of the Columbia County Little Seven Conference, which a few years later would change its name to the Dual County Conference. The Little Five continued with four schools for one more season before disbanding in 1935. Hartland and Johnson Creek found new homes right away: Hartland to the 4-C Conference and Johnson Creek to the Madison Suburban Conference. Hustisford and Reeseville continued as independents until finding new affiliations in later years.
