Abstract
The city of Logan, Utah, was first settled in 1859 and derives its name from an old Indian Chief named "Logan," who had befriended the early white settlers.
Located in Cache County, this city is the metropolis of Cache Valley, lying at the mouth of picturesque Logan Canyon. Its unique location affords many advantages that arise out of its connection with this canyon, such as an excellent water supply for surrounding farm use and culinary purposes, cool canyon breezes, and canyon playgrounds and parks.
Logan is also the county seat of Cache County and as such has maintained a sense of responsibility in supplying leadership and in stimulating growth in surrounding towns. The geographic location of the city has had a definite influence on its economic and cultural growth.
The influence of the Utah State Agricultural College has also been important in the economic and cultural growth of the community. Because of the college there has been an influx of talented and highly trained people who have taken an active part in many phases of the life of this community and have made contributions in a wide variety of fields.
The Logan L.D.S. Temple, since its founding in 1877, is another institution that over the years has attracted to the community a high type of retired farmers and business men. Many of these people in their later years have chosen to make their homes in Logan in order to do temple work. These people on the whole have been financially successful; they are not only competent, but are characterized by high idealism and altruistic purposes. Such citizens exercise a wholesome and steady influence in a community.
