The Packerland Conference was founded in 1970 by ten small- to medium-sized high schools in northeastern Wisconsin. It started with a five-school group informally referred to as the "Nuclear Five" ([[Algoma High School|Algoma]], [[Kewaunee High School|Kewaunee]], [[Luxemburg-Casco High School|Luxemburg-Casco]], [[Southern Door High School|Southern Door]] and [[Sturgeon Bay High School|Sturgeon Bay]]), which were the odd schools out during the flurry of conference realignment that took place in the region.<ref>{{Cite news |date=20 January 1970 |title=Nuclear Five Has League...At Last |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/188942991/?match=1&terms=%22nuclear%20five%22 |access-date=22 April 2025 |work=Green Bay Press-Gazette |pages=B-1}}</ref> Three Nuclear Five schools (Algoma, Kewaunee and Sturgeon Bay) were former members of the [[Northeastern Wisconsin Conference]] and two schools (Luxemburg-Casco and Southern Door) previously belonged to the [[Peninsula Conference]], both of which ceased operations after the previous season.<ref name="Ending">{{Cite news |last=Walter |first=Tony |date=21 December 1969 |title=High School Realignment Begins To Take Definite Shape in Area |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/188952412/?match=1&terms=%22mid-eastern%20conference%22%20realignment |access-date=22 April 2025 |work=Green Bay Press-Gazette |pages=E-5}}</ref> After an unsuccessful attempt to join the [[Bay Conference]] as a group,<ref>{{Cite news |date=17 December 1969 |title=New Bay Loop Adds Marinette |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/188945999/?match=1&terms=%22nuclear%20five%22 |access-date=22 April 2025 |work=Green Bay Press-Gazette |pages=C-1}}</ref> the Nuclear Five joined with five schools that were displaced by the ending of the [[Eastern Wisconsin Conference]] ([[Chilton High School (Wisconsin)|Chilton]], [[Kiel High School|Kiel]], [[New Holstein High School|New Holstein]], [[Plymouth High School (Wisconsin)|Plymouth]] and [[Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin|Sheboygan Falls]]) to form the original roster of the Packerland Conference.<ref name=":2">{{Cite news |date=4 March 1970 |title=Pick 'Packerland' as New Loop Name |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/293949822/?match=1&terms=%22packerland%20conference%22 |access-date=22 April 2025 |work=Manitowoc Herald-Times-Reporter |pages=25}}</ref> Due to the large geographic footprint of its member schools, the conference was partitioned into Northern and Southern Divisions for most sports:

In 1979, the five schools of the Southern Division, along with [[Washington High School (Two Rivers, Wisconsin)|Two Rivers]] from the [[Fox Valley Association]] and [[Valders High School|Valders]] from the [[Olympian Conference]], left the Packerland Conference to reform the Eastern Wisconsin Conference.<ref name=":7">{{Cite news |last=Bartel |first=Roger |date=12 October 1978 |title=Lutheran looks for new conference |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/291407032/?match=1&terms=%22olympian%20conference%22%20valders%20%22eastern%20wisconsin%22 |access-date=22 April 2025 |work=Manitowoc Herald-Times-Reporter |pages=19}}</ref> [[Gibraltar Secondary School|Gibraltar]] and [[Sevastopol High School|Sevastopol]], two [[Door County, Wisconsin|Door County]] high schools left without affiliation after the collapse of the [[Bay-Lakes Conference]],<ref name="Ending2">{{Cite news |date=12 October 1978 |title=Lutheran looks for new conference |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/291407032/?match=1&terms=%22bay-lakes%20conference%22%20realignment |access-date=22 April 2025 |work=Manitowoc Herald-Times-Reporter |pages=19}}</ref> replaced the five outgoing schools and the conference ended divisional play.
