The Colonial Fantasy Football League was founded in 1997 when 16 members of the Mark Carlson Sunday School Class at Colonial Heights Baptist Church and immediate family met in Commissioner Hayes' home for the inaugural draft. The rules were discussed and agreed upon. Team names were announced by their respective owner(s) and then it was time for the very first CFFL draft. Draft order was decided by writing team names onto slips of paper and then dropped into a hat, the lovely Mrs. Commissioner was enlisted to draw the names and starting with the sixteenth pick and proceeding to the first pick, the first draft order was set. This initial draft order was also used to slot teams into their respective conferences and divisions.

The first pick in the CFFL's inaugural draft was RB Barry Sanders, Detroit Lions who went on to have an outstanding year for the Mad Dogs. He rushed for over 2000 yards and scored 14 touchdowns and was named league MVP.
The four divisions were originally named Capitol, Century, Central and Coastal but were renamed after the team owners who won their respective divisions in Year One.
The Capitol Division became the Hayes Division, the Century Division became the Adams Division, the Central Division became the King Division and the Coastal division became the Volk Division.
