Originally named the Oshawa \u00e2\u20ac\u0153City and Industrial\u00e2\u20ac\u009d League the organization grew by leaps and bounds. It eventually embraced other leagues such as the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153South Ontario League\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Oshawa Church League\u00e2\u20ac\u009d both of which played an important part in establishing softball in Ontario but fell victims to the depression years of the early thirties.<\/p>\n<p>Later, as small communities in the immediate suburban district requested permission to affiliate, so that they might carry on, the organization was re-named the Oshawa City and District Association.
