The lower divisions of the Isthmian League have had a complicated history. Division Two was formed in 1973 as the first major expansion of the Isthmian League, and consisted of 16 clubs, mostly from the Athenian League. In 1977, the two existing divisions were renamed Premier Division and Division One, and another 17 clubs were admitted (again mostly from the Athenian) to a new Division Two.
In 1984, yet another wave of expansion led to Division Two being split into Division Two North and Division Two South. These were reorganised again into Division Two and Division Three in 1991, and in 2002 Divisions One and Two were combined into Division One North and South, and Division Three was renamed as Division Two.
The division now sits at the same level of the pyramid as 14 regional leagues, meaning its champions have to fight it out for only 8 promotion places to step 4. It is likely that step 5 of the pyramid will be restructured in the near future, and the Isthmian League Division Two may be merged with another league.
