For much of its history, the Boyer Valley Conference consisted of members in West Harrison in Mondamin, Woodbine, Dunlap, Schleswig, Charter Oak, Dow City, Irwin, Logan, Ar-We-Va in Westside, and East Monona in Moorhead.
The League's seminal moment may have come in 2005 when Charter Oak-Ute defeated IKM for the 1A Girls Basketball Championship in Des Moines.
[3] The league continued to operate until its final year of 2007 when the conference was left with only eight schools: Ar-We-Va, Boyer Valley, Charter Oak-Ute, IKM, Logan-Magnolia, Manning, West Harrison, and Woodbine.
With IKM and Manning set to enter a sport-sharing agreement for the 2008–09 school year, it looked like the right time for many of its members to find a new home.
The Western Valley Activities Conference proved to be a poor fit for many member schools.
