Formed 1891, when the Lanarkshire Junior League merged into the new SJFA Central Region in 1968, it was the oldest beside the Scottish Football League.

Like all leagues in the early years, the LJL practiced a re-election procedure, accepting clubs mainly from the Lanarkshire Junior Alliance. The latter was formed in August 1892 and was eventually absorbed as the Second Division in 1903. In 1894-95 a Lanarkshire Second Junior League which comprised of 1st XIs and also the 2nd XIs of LJL and LJA clubs was ran for a season.

Unlike other Scottish leagues at the time, the LJL practiced automatic promotion and relegation, although for the first few years no clubs were actually relegated because of natural wastage. The policy was abandoned in 1910 to entice Blantyre Victoria and Burnbank Athletic back from the Scottish Junior League. The Second Division was suspended in 1915 because of the war and wasn't restarted until 1923, before being scrapped again three years later. The Intermediate Dispute which began in 1927 saw the loss of many clubs to the Scottish Intermediate League, most of which never returned. By 1939 the league had grown again to 20 clubs but WWII saw the league suspend operations from 1941, although surviving member clubs helped form the Lanark & Lothians Junior League for the remainder of the conflict.

In 1945, Croy Celtic, a Dunbartonshire club, were granted a temporary place until the Scottish Junior League restarted. The immediate post war period also saw the league organised over two series until 1952 when a single division was re-introduced for the remainder of the 1950s and the early 1960s. A diminishing membership saw a return to the two series championship and by the time the championship was held in 1967-68, the LJL had only 10 clubs. The merger with the Scottish Central Junior League, which had been on the agenda for a few years took place at the end of the season.

 

The League Cup competition was introduced in 1921.

 

A number of other leagues in Lanarkshire have appeared over the years, none lasting more than a few years.

 

The Lanarkshire North-Western Junior League was formed in the summer of 1898 by ten Lanarkshire clubs in the Coatbridge area. The latter part of the season saw the league reported as being allowed to drift. With the clubs being left to arrange their own matches, it was uncertain whether the fixture list would be completed. After a number of clubs were rejected at the Lanarkshire Junior League's AGM, six clubs attempted to carry on the league into a second season. To this end a trophy was donated by a Mr Wotherspoon to be called the 'North Western and Wotherspoon Cup'. However it's uncertain whether the league entered a second season.

 

A Cambuslang & District Junior League first appeared in 1897-98 before apparently folding. It resurfaced between 1905 and 1908 when it was replaced by the Burbank & District Junior League which awarded the Moses Orr Cup to the winners. Both leagues were supplementary competitions as the members were also competing in other leagues at the time.

 

A Strathaven & District Junior League was formed in October 1900 at the instigation of Strathaven Glenavon and it's uncertain if the competition entered a second season.

 

A short-lived Hamilton & District Junior League was formed in February 1904.

 

The Airdrie & District Junior League was competed for between 1904 and 1906.

Nethanvale Swifts in September 1891 replaced Blantyre Victoria, it is not known if Victoria completed any fixtures. Swifts themselves then left in November and were replaced by Cadzow Oak whose performance would be averaged relative to number of matches played rather than playing full fixture list.

At the league AGM, East Benhar were awarded 2 points from Lanark Anstruther who failed to appear at for their fixture for whch they were also deducted 2 points

 

Newmains Thistle were the Champions
