Arkansas State League

Jump to: navigation, search

There was a class D league known as the Arkansas State League that operated in 1908 and 1909. A second such circuit was created in 1934 and again lasted just two years. Instead of dissolving, this one was merely renamed, becoming the Arkansas-Missouri League from 1936-1940. Fayetteville, AR lasted the entire run of both names 1934-1940.
