About this city
Logan is a historic mountain city and the county seat of Logan County, West Virginia, situated along the Guyandotte River in the heart of the southern coalfields. Settled in the early 19th century and named after the famous Mingo leader Chief Logan, the town became a focal point for the dramatic West Virginia Mine Wars of the early 1900s. Today, it has transitioned from its heavy industrial past into a premier hub for rugged motorized trail riding and outdoor enthusiasts.
