Following the [[Oklahoma Organic Act]] of 1890, which established the [[Oklahoma Territory]], Logan County was designated as County One, of the six counties created out of [[Unassigned Lands]].

The land in what became Logan County had been settled during the 1820s and 1830s by the [[Muscogee (Creek)|Creek]] and [[Seminole]] tribes after the forced [[Indian Removal]] by the federal government from their traditional historic territories in the American Southeast. These tribes supported the [[Confederate States of America]] during the Civil War, in part based on the CSA promise of an American Indian state if they won. The United States required the tribes that supported the Confederacy to make new Reconstruction Treaties in 1866.

The United States required the tribes that supported the Confederacy to make new Reconstruction Treaties in 1866.


As part of the treaties, the US reduced the lands of these tribes, designating certain areas as Unassigned Lands. This 2 million-acre area was reserved for years after the war as potential reservation lands for the Plains tribes, who were mostly settled in other areas. Congress passed a law in 1889, after the [[Indian Wars]], to open the land to non-Indian settlement under terms of the 1862 [[Homestead Act]].<ref name="run">[http://www.okhistory.org/publications/enc/entry.php?entry=LA014 "LAND RUN OF 1889."], ''The Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture'', 2009, Oklahoma Historical Society</ref> The land rush (or run) took place on April 22, 1889, whereby people rushed to establish homestead plots.

The three easternmost townships were added to the county in 1891, after areas of the [[Sac and Fox]] lands were also opened to non-Indian settlement, following allotment of communal lands to individual tribal households under implementation of the [[Dawes Act]]. This law resulted in massive losses of Indian land. The US classified lands remaining after allotment as "surplus" and allowed them to be sold to non-Natives.<ref name = "EOHC-Logan"/>

Before 1889, the [[Kansas Southern Railway]] (later the [[Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway]]) had built a line from the Kansas-Oklahoma border to [[Purcell, Oklahoma|Purcell]] in [[Indian Territory]]. Stations built in the present Logan County were Beaver Creek (now [[Mulhall, Oklahoma]]) and Deer Creek (now Guthrie). After the [[land run]], [[Guthrie, Oklahoma]] developed into a center of trade for the county and region, connected by railroads to other markets.

In Presidential politics, Logan County has been a reliable Republican county. Since 1960, it has only voted twice for the Democratic candidate, in 1964 for [[Lyndon B. Johnson]]) (53-47%) and last in 1976 when it narrowly went for [[Jimmy Carter]] (50-48%). [[Barack Obama]] barely received over 1/4th of the vote in 2012. This was a poorer showing than [[George McGovern]]'s 29% performance in 1972.
Logan County is a reliably Republican county. Since 1960, it has only supported the Democratic presidential nominee twice; in 1964, when it backed [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] by a 53-47% margin, and in 1976, when it narrowly backed [[Jimmy Carter]] by a 50-48% margin. [[Barack Obama]] barely received a quarter of the county's vote in 2012, a poorer showing than that of even [[George McGovern]] in 1972. No Democratic candidate for governor has carried the county since [[Brad Henry]] in 2006, or for U.S. Senate since [[David Boren]] in 1990.

Logan County is a county located in the U.S. state of Oklahoma. As of the 2020 census, the population was 49,555.[1] Its county seat is Guthrie.[2]

Logan County is part of the Oklahoma City, OK metropolitan statistical area. Guthrie served as the capital of Oklahoma Territory from 1890 until 1907 and of the state of Oklahoma from 1907 until 1910.

History

[edit]

Following the Oklahoma Organic Act of 1890, which established the Oklahoma Territory, Logan County was designated as County One, of the six counties created out of Unassigned Lands. The town of Guthrie was designated as the county seat and the capital of Oklahoma Territory. The county was named on August 5, 1890, for U. S. Senator, John A. Logan, of Illinois.[3][4]

The land in what became Logan County had been settled during the 1820s and 1830s by the Creek and Seminole tribes after the forced Indian Removal by the federal government from their traditional historic territories in the American Southeast. These tribes supported the Confederate States of America during the Civil War, in part based on the CSA promise of an American Indian state if they won. The United States required the tribes that supported the Confederacy to make new Reconstruction Treaties in 1866.

As part of the treaties, the US reduced the lands of these tribes, designating certain areas as Unassigned Lands. This 2 million-acre area was reserved for years after the war as potential reservation lands for the Plains tribes, who were mostly settled in other areas. Congress passed a law in 1889, after the Indian Wars, to open the land to non-Indian settlement under terms of the 1862 Homestead Act.[5] The land rush (or run) took place on April 22, 1889, whereby people rushed to establish homestead plots.

The three easternmost townships were added to the county in 1891, after areas of the Sac and Fox lands were also opened to non-Indian settlement, following allotment of communal lands to individual tribal households under implementation of the Dawes Act. This law resulted in massive losses of Indian land. The US classified lands remaining after allotment as "surplus" and allowed them to be sold to non-Natives.[3] That same year, Cora Victoria Diehl won the first election for the county register of deeds, becoming the first woman elected in Oklahoma Territory.[6]

Before 1889, the Kansas Southern Railway (later the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway) had built a line from the Kansas-Oklahoma border to Purcell in Indian Territory. Stations built in the present Logan County were Beaver Creek (now Mulhall, Oklahoma) and Deer Creek (now Guthrie). After the land run, Guthrie, Oklahoma developed into a center of trade for the county and region, connected by railroads to other markets.

The Denver, Enid and Gulf Railroad (later the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe) ran from Guthrie to Enid, Oklahoma. The Choctaw, Oklahoma and Western Railroad (later the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway) ran between Guthrie and Chandler, Oklahoma, while the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad ran east from Guthrie to Fallis, Oklahoma. From 1916 to 1944, the Oklahoma Railway Company interurban line ran between Guthrie and Oklahoma City.[3]

Geography

[edit]

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 749 square miles (1,940 km2), of which 744 square miles (1,930 km2) is land and 5.0 square miles (13 km2) (0.7%) is water.[7] The county lies in the Red Bed Plains physiographic area. It is drained by the Cimarron River and the smaller streams Cottonwood Creek and Ephraim Creek.[3]

Logan County is a reliably Republican county. Since 1960, it has only supported the Democratic presidential nominee twice; in 1964, when it backed Lyndon B. Johnson by a 53-47% margin, and in 1976, when it narrowly backed Jimmy Carter by a 50-48% margin. Barack Obama barely received a quarter of the county's vote in 2012, a poorer showing than that of even George McGovern in 1972. No Democratic candidate for governor has carried the county since Brad Henry in 2006, or for U.S. Senate since David Boren in 1990.
