'The West Dixie League was an American professional minor league baseball league that operated for two seasons from 1934 to 1935 as a Class C level league.[1]
The West Dixie League was created when the Dixie League divided into the East Dixie League and West Dixie League in 1934. The league included teams from several cities across the region: Louisiana was represented by Baton Rouge and Shreveport; Arkansas by El Dorado; Mississippi by Jackson; and Texas by Henderson, Longview, Tyler, and Waco.[2]
The Jacksonville Jax won both league titles in 1934 and 1935.[1]
In 1936, the West Dixie League effectively became the East Texas League.[2]
