The article below from the September 30th, 1955, Ottawa Journal is perhaps the first about the organization which would become the National Capital Amateur Football Association.
In August 1969, the Ottawa Citizen reported that this league and the subsequently-formed Ottawa Mosquito League would merge to form the Ottawa Minor Football Association. They appear to have added "Carleton" to the name in 1976 (therefore becoming OCMFA). The NCAFA name is first in use, from what I've found, in 1994.
The Citizen also had an article about the formation of the league in 1955 but only on October 7th of that year, so the Journal had the proverbial "scoop" by a few days.
The image below is from the October 14th edition of the Citizen.
