History

Founded in 2007 as the Emerald City Roller Girls, the league once consisted of three teams and a mixed team which competed against teams from other leagues.
ECRD was founded in January 2007 by a group of people who met through a knitting circle, and a posting on Craigslist. By January 2010, the league had around 80 skaters.
In the spring of 2016, the league changed its name to Emerald City Roller Derby to promote inclusivity and community.
Emerald City Junior Derby, formerly the Junior Gems, junior roller derby league is an offshoot of ECRD.
