Brief history

The Woomera Football League (WFL) was formed in 1948. The predominance of public service and defence employment in the region was reflected in early participating clubs which included Works & Housing, Contractors, Koolymilka, Lines & Construction, LWER (Long Range Weapons Experimental Range), RAAF (Royal Australian Air Force), RAE (Royal Australian Engineers - Army). By 1960 the clubs consisted of Works, Village, Centrals, RAAF and Koolymilka. RAAF withdrew in 1966 and Works similarly in 1976. Mount Gunson joined in 1975 and ceased in 1983. Woomera North joined in 1977. This was a direct result of Works and Village unable to field separate sides so a new team was formed. Woomera North voted itself out of existence in 1984 and a Village team re-entered the competition which then only consisted of 3 teams viz. Kollymilka, Central and Village.

1.L.C.P.S. (Signals) is the acronym for No.1 Line Construction Project Squadron, Royal Australian Corps of Signals.
1.L.C.P.S. (Signals) were also known as Lines and Construction.
Works were also known as Works and Housing in the early years.
Village were also known as Woomera or Town in the early years.
In 1986 the Woomera Football League changed its name to the Woomera & Districts Football League.
Since this era, with the beginning of mining operations at Olympic Dam in the 1980s, the majority of the league's clubs are actually located in the Roxby Downs area rather than Woomera, with the Coober Pedy Saints even further afield.
