Our StoryWhen Little League officials first organized California leagues into districts in 1958, they created 33 districts that were numbered sequentially from far Northern California to San Diego. As Little League's popularity has grown, and as California's population has expanded and migrated, the number of districts in the state has doubled. Today, there are 71 districts in California, including 40 in Southern California. No other state has as many districts as Southern California.
District 49 was created in 1961. It was comprised of teams that previously competed in District 22 (which is now the El Centro & Brawley areas). Our District has remained unchanged in area since 1968. District 49 is currently composed of 13 chartered leagues and covers approximately 2,900 square miles in area. |
