WELCOME
Logan
Town Center is the traditional business and residential neighborhood at
the
heart of the City of Logan, the county seat of Hocking County.
Logan Town Center comprises more than half of
the area of the original town of Logan, platted in the summer of 1816
as a
personal venture by former U.S. Senator Thomas Worthington, who was
then
finishing the first of two terms as Ohio's governor. The town was
named as a monument to Chief
Logan of the Mingo Indians. Chief Logan was the author of Logan's
Lament, made
most famous by Thomas Jefferson in his Notes
on the State of Virginia.
Logan was established one
mile below the "great falls" of the
Hockhocking River, later known as the Hocking River.
In 1840 the section of the Hocking Valley
Canal passing through Logan (between th City and the Hocking River) was
completed, connecting Logan through Lancaster with the Ohio Canal. The Hocking River, once provided a vital
asset for industries that extracted the region’s natural resources such
as
coal, sandstone, iron, timber, oil and gas. Today,
the
river
helps
attract
over
3
million
visitors
to
the
region
to
relax
and
enjoy
the
natural,
artistic
and
cultural
assets
and
rural
lifestyle
we
have
to
offer
visitors
and
residents.
Main Street and the
surrounding neighborhoods continue to be
the center of business, government, fine historic homes, churches, and
cultural
and historical destinations in the Hocking Hills region of Ohio. Our Logan Town Center business district
is anchored
by the Logan - Hocking County
District
Library,
the Hocking
County
Historical Museum, The Bowen
House
community arts and education center, and City
and County government
offices. It also provides unique
destinations like the Washboard
Factory,
and friendly
locally owned shops, restaurants and family friendly activities.
Logan Town Center, Inc. is a
non-profit organization
committed to the economic and cultural vitality of Logan’s original
town center
for the enjoyment and benefit of the residents and visitors in the
Hocking
Hills.
With
over
200,000
SF
of
commercial
space,
there
are
opportunities
for
entrepreneurs
to
create
destinations
for
resident
and
visiting
customers.
