History
Formed in 1881 from Wallace County
An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.
St. John was created from Wallace County on March 13, 1881, but was not fully organized. In 1885, St. John was attached to Trego County for judicial purposes. St. John was renamed Logan in 1887 and fully organized, detached from Trego County that September.
