Logan
Settlers first came to this location
on the northern banks of the Solomon River in 1870. The area was
briefly called Deeversville. D. G. Hoover, one of the first settlers,
renamed the town on June 2, 1873 to Logan after his army commander
from Illinois, General John A. Logan. Little progress was made
in the town during the first few years, but in 1878 several business
men settled in the area. Logan soon became an enterprising town
with flour and sorghum mills, along with other businesses such
as general stores, hotels, and a bank.
The ethnicity of its settlers is unknown.
