South Atlantic League (1904–1963)

The circuit dissolved after the 1963 season and was refounded as the Southern League.

[2] The Great Depression caused the league to shut down from 1931 to 1935,[1] but it returned at Class B from 1936 to 1942.

[2] Three more years of dormancy occurred during World War II, but the SALLY League was revived as a Class A circuit from 1946 to 1962.

[2] The circuit reorganized as the Southern League in 1964.

To distance itself from its history at lower classifications, the newly-named league elected to start with a clean slate and not maintain records prior to the 1964 season.
