Logan County, County administrative division in southwestern West Virginia, United States.
Located along the Guyandotte River, Logan County encompasses 456 square miles of mountainous terrain with numerous coal mining operations throughout the region.
The county was established in 1824 from parts of Giles, Tazewell, Cabell, and Kanawha counties, named after the Native American Mingo leader Chief Logan.
The area holds strong connections to coal mining heritage, with numerous mining communities scattered across the county and the Logan city serving as its administrative center.
Major transportation routes include U.S. Highway 52 and U.S. Highway 119, connecting residents to neighboring counties and providing access to regional commercial centers.
In 1921, Logan County witnessed the Battle of Blair Mountain, where 10,000 coal miners confronted law enforcement in the largest armed labor uprising in United States history.
