[edit] History

For more details on this topic, see Isthmian League#History.

From 1973–74, and the introduction of a second division, till 1976–77, this league was named the Isthmian League First Division; it was rebranded the Premier Division upon the introduction of a third division of the Isthmian League.

After the league became part of the football pyramid in 1985, it was at the sixth tier of the system. However, since 2004, it has been at the seventh tier, parallel to the Northern Premier League Premier Division and the Southern League Premier Division.
