History
Residents named the town in honor of Chief Logan of the Mingo people. He and his band lived in this area at the time of European-American settlement. Ohio Governor Thomas Worthington laid out the village in 1816.
Logan was the first city in the state of Ohio to install a double roundabout. Located at the interchange of Ohio State Route 664 and U.S. Route 33, the roundabouts were officially opened to traffic on December 4, 2013.
