The league was originally proposed as the '''East Coast Baseball League''' and had six teams, four in the United States and two in [[Ontario]], [[Canada]]. Right before the season started, the Watertown team pulled out over what they claimed were unfulfilled promised by the ECBL management. The other U.S. based teams also pulled out and with Watertown reformed the current North Country Baseball League; the two Canadian teams then folded.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.watertowndailytimes.com/sports/watertown-bucks-start-season-on-sunday-in-north-country-baseball-league-20150522|title=Watertown Bucks start season on Sunday in North Country Baseball League|work=Watertowndailytimes.com|first=Chris|last=Fitz Gerald|date=May 22, 2015|accessdate=May 22, 2015}}</ref>
The NCBL has an unofficial affiliation with the [[Atlantic League of Professional Baseball]], and several NCBL players have been called up to the Atlantic League. The [[Newburgh Newts]] won the initial league championship series.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.watertowndailytimes.com/sports/pro-baseball-watertown-bucks-swept-by-newburgh-newts-in-ncbl-championship-series-20150809|title=Pro baseball: Watertown Bucks swept by Newburgh Newts in NCBL championship series|date=August 9, 2015|work=Watertown Daily Times}}</ref>
