The first meeting for the organization of the League was held in Fort William on April 27, 1917 and was known as the Fort William District League.
Membership to the League is open to all incorporated municipalities in and around the District of Thunder Bay and its present memberships include all the communities in the District as well as the Municipality of Hornepayne and the Township of White River in the District of Algoma.

The Board consists of one member of council from each of the member communities and meets bi-monthly.  There are two general membership meetings, the Annual which is held on the first weekend in March and a Fall meeting held in the month of October or November.

The Margaret S. Sideen Award for Political Studies was established by the League at Lakehead University in 1985 and an award is made to a student annually. Margaret Sideen served as a Councillor for the Municipality of Paipoonge and was a dedicated supporter of the League and NOMA.  Margaret served as President of the League for two terms, 1967-68 and 1973-74.
