About this city
Also known as: Cache Valley Capital
Logan is a prominent cultural and economic city situated in Cache County in northeastern Utah, dominating the fertile Cache Valley and nestled against the spectacular Bear River Mountains. Settled in 1859 by Mormon pioneers along the Logan River, the city grew around early agricultural mills and the iconic limestone Logan LDS Temple built atop a grand terrace. As the proud home of Utah State University, founded in 1888, Logan perfectly fuses an energetic, modern collegiate atmosphere with a rich agricultural heritage, renowned for high-tech food sciences, manufacturing, and year-round outdoor canyon access.
