Also known as the CHC, the conference disbanded after the 2008–09 school year as part of a major realignment of Northern New Jersey athletic leagues promulgated by the NJSIAA.Havsy, Jane. "Realignment plan sends coaches, ADs in search of back roads", Daily Record, October 9, 2008. Accessed February 3, 2024, via Newspapers.com. "The NJSIAA executive committee approved a realignment plan on Wednesday, creating a Morris-Sussex super-conference. The Iron Hills, Colonial Hills and Northern Hills Conferences will cease to exist, and be replaced by divisions." Most member schools moved to the Northwest Jersey Athletic Conference or the Super Essex Conference.
The Conference had two divisions for most sports, the Colonial Division and the Hills Division.
