Western Association
The Western Association was the name of five different leagues formed in American minor league baseball during the 19th and 20th centuries.

It began operations in the 1888 season, and lasted through the 1891 season. A separate Western Association was formed in January 1894 with clubs in Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois and Missouri – with a team in faraway Denver, Colorado, added in 1895.
