During the Soviet-Afghan War of the 1980s, Logar became a central battleground between Soviet forces and resistance groups, leading to substantial regional changes.

The population of 442,037 includes Pashtun and Tajik communities, maintaining traditional practices while engaging in farming, trade, and local craft production.
