The district's history traces back to the 1930s Dust Bowl era“Imagine this... It's the 1930s... the Dust Bowl is ripping through the US. After years of intensive cultivation, increased demand for wheat, and severe drought the crops began to fail. Farmlands, once rich with nutrients, are now barren and exposed. Without deep-rooted grasses to anchor it in place, the topsoil begins blowing away. Erooding soil leads to catastrophic dust storms, exacerbating the environment and rendering farmland useless. After the devastation of the Dust Bowl, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt addressed the problem of soil erosion and recommended the Soil Conservation Districts Act. The act listed guidelines as well as the rules and responsibilities for the creation of conservation districts.”

Conservation districts were created through local collaboration during the 1930s Dust Bowl era“After the devastation of the Dust Bowl, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt addressed the problem of soil erosion and recommended the Soil Conservation Districts Act. The act listed guidelines as well as the rules and responsibilities for the creation of conservation districts. Originally, established within the United States Department of Agriculture, the Soil Conservation Service was assumed to be under government control. Within the first two years, however, it became apparent how crucial local leadership was. Collaboration between local farmers, ranchers, and landowners was the key to tying SCS programs to local conditions and priorities.”
