Logan County

Logan County is an administrative division in central Oklahoma spanning approximately 749 square miles (1,940 square kilometers). The Cimarron River flows through the territory, shaping the landscape of the Red Bed Plains.

The county was established in 1890 following the great land rush and named after US Senator John A. Logan of Illinois. Guthrie, its county seat, subsequently became the territory capital.

The region carries traces of Chickasaw and Choctaw peoples who arrived here during forced relocations in the 1800s. Their influences shape local communities and traditions that remain visible today.

The county provides various public services through its County Clerk Office, offering documentation services and property protection programs. Visitors can find multiple parks and public spaces to explore throughout the area.

The county seat of Guthrie served as the territorial capital from 1890 to 1907 and continued as the state capital until 1910. This brief period made the town a pivotal center in the region's early statehood.
