History

Formed in 1824 from Cabell County, Giles County, Kanawha County and Tazewell County

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.

Logan County was created by Virginia from parts of Cabell, Giles, Kanawha, and Tazewell counties on January 12, 1824, and was named after Logan. Over the following decades, Logan County lost territory to the creation of Fayette (1831), Boone (1847), Wyoming (1850), Mingo (1895), and other counties, while gaining from Cabell and Kanawha in 1830. When West Virginia separated from Virginia on June 20, 1863, Logan County became part of the new state.
