Cotton States League
Encyclopedia
The Cotton States League name was used five different times in baseball history. The first Cotton States League ran from 1902 through 1908 as a class D league. After the league shut down, another Cotton States League was reformulated in 1910, with three of the six '08 members returning for the new campaign and three new teams joining them. This league ran for four seasons, through 1913.

In 1922 the Cotton States League got another shot after 9 years of nonexistence. This time, despite disbanding July 24, 1923 and restarting the next year, the league held itself together for 11 seasons before folding for good on July 13, 1932.
