LOGAN TOWNSHIP
Page 688
This township was organized in 1848, and was
named in honor of the noted Indian scout, Captain Logan
(See sketch of, elsewhere in this volume.) Prior to the
organization of Auglaize county, the territory comprehended in this
township formed a part of Amanda township, Allen county. At
the time of organization three tiers of sections were taken from the
south side of Amanda, and one and a half from the north side of
Moulton township, which sections were erected into the present
township. It is thus four and a half miles from north to
south, and six miles in length from east to west, and contains
twenty-seven square miles.
Logan Township is bounded on the north by Allen
county on the east by Allen county and Duchouquet township, on the
south by Moulton township, and on the west by Noble and Salem
townships. The surface of this township is undulating, and is
unsurpassed in its fertility. The tortuous course of the
Auglaize River presents a greater acreage of first and second
bottoms hands than is to be fond in any other township in the
county, except. St. Mary's.
Entries of lands were made as early as 1821.
