As the Welsh National League collapsed at the end of the 1929-30 season Leagues sprang up all over North Wales as clubs consolidated.

The Division II East of the Northern Section of the Welsh National League had actually had an excellent season and due to hard working administrators had completed their fixtures in full and in good time. The Division had eleven members - Prestatyn Town, Denbigh Mental Hospital, Llanddulas FC, Bettisfield FC, Holywell Arcadians, Abergele FC, Ruthin FC, Denbigh Juniors, Llysfaen FC, Kinmel Bay FC, and Rhuddlan FC - and on 23rd of July 1930 the membership and administrators held a meeting at the Imperial Hotel, Rhyl.

As reported in the North Wales Weekly News of July 31st the meeting was chaired by Mr W H Jones of Abergele, President of the League.
A detailed financial statement was read out and explained by W Morris, Treasurer and Acting Hon Secretary. The League was in a strong financial position, a cash credit of £110 being disclosed and Mr Morris’s services to the League were recognised by several present. It was unanimously decided to make him a presentation as a token of the League’s regard for the painstaking manner in which he had carried out his duties.
Several accounts were passed for payment and the representatives of the Prestatyn and Bettisfield clubs were handed the respective trophies and medals which they had won.

By seven votes to six it was decided to apply for permission to the FA of Wales to re-name the League “The Welsh League” as the Welsh National League was in the hands of trustees. The opinion was expressed that as Division II East was the only league in North Wales to complete its fixtures last season it was entitled to claim itself as being the best organised and controlled league in the area, and, as such, to claim a title that was more in keeping with its high position.
It was decided to advertise in several newspapers for three more clubs in order to bring up the total to fourteen.
The retiring vice-presidents were re-elected en bloc. On the position of the Llysfaen representative it was decided to ask Messrs S Millington and E Bithell to act as vice-presidents.

The name change was sanctioned by the FAW and four new clubs were admitted - Conwy Casuals, Colwyn Bay FC Res. Penmaenmawr FC and Rhyl Amateurs - one of whom replaced Rhuddlan FC who resigned before the start of the season.

The League ran for five years before running down to eight clubs at the end of 1934-35 season when yet another reconstruction of the League system condemned the league to history.
