Formed for the 2006-07 season, the division was originally known as Midlands 5 West (North) but changed to its present name for the 2008-09 season due to league restructuring. Promoted teams tend to move up to Midlands 3 West (North) while since the dissolution of Midlands 5 West (North) at the end of the 2018-19 season relegated teams drop to Midlands 5 West (South).

Notes
  1. Last season as Midlands 5 West (North). Would be renamed Midlands 4 West (North) for the following season.
  2. No relegation as the division would be increased from 9 to 11 teams for the following season.
  3. Church Stretton dropped out of the league before the season and were automatically relegated. No other teams were relegated this season.

gollark: Huh, potatOS mistakenly flagged me!
gollark: Hold on, I should update the blasphemy detection logic.
gollark: Oh yes. That. That's not really an "exploit" as much as "CC feature".
gollark: If you find one, somehow, I *will* patch it.
