The Upper Country Line Primitive Baptist Association formed from Country Line Primitive Baptist Association which itself had formed out of the Flat River Association. In 1805 the Flat River Association divided into the Flat River and Country Line Associations due to the large number of churches. The first session of Country Line was held in August of 1806. In 1905 the Country Line Association also divided, due to large membership, into Upper and Lower Country Line Associations using the South Hyco Creek as the dividing line. Upper Country Line was assembled in August of 1906, comprised of churches mostly located in North Carolina. The association regularly maintained communication with churches and associations in North Carolina and Virginia.
