Logan County is a county in West Virginia, United States, in the coalfields of the southern part of the state, along the Guyandotte River near the Kentucky border. It had a population of 32,567 at the 2020 census and covers 456 square miles (1,180 km2) centred near 37°50′N 81°56′W.<\/p>\n
Logan is the county seat, and its postal code is 25601. The county holds one city, four incorporated towns, and dozens of unincorporated coal-camp communities spread through its narrow hollows. Logan County is in the Eastern Time zone.<\/p>\n
Logan County’s built-up places follow the branches of the Guyandotte and Buffalo rivers, most of them former coal-company towns. Logan is the only city; Chapmanville, Man, Mitchell Heights, and West Logan are incorporated towns. Everything else below is an unincorporated community — former coal camp, post-office settlement, or crossroads.<\/p>\n

Both pairs are kept here as the historical record lists them.<\/p>\n ZIP Codes<\/h2>\nMany of the smaller coal-camp communities never had a distinct post office and are served by a neighboring ZIP; West Logan and Mitchell Heights, for instance, both use Logan’s 25601.<\/p>\n Geography<\/h2>\nLogan County lies in the Cumberland Plateau section of the Appalachians, cut by the Guyandotte River and its many creeks — Buffalo, Island, Rum, and Gilbert among them — running through steep, narrow hollows. The terrain is almost entirely forested ridge and valley, with little level ground outside the river bottoms where the towns sit. It borders Lincoln County<\/a> to the north, Boone County<\/a> to the northeast, Wyoming County<\/a> to the southeast, and Mingo County<\/a> to the southwest.<\/p>\n Logan County had 32,567 residents at the 2020 census. Logan, the county seat, is by far its largest place, followed by Chapmanville. The county’s median household income runs well below the West Virginia median of $55,948, reflecting the long decline of coal employment across the southern coalfields. With 456 square miles of mostly mountainous terrain, the county’s overall population density is light, though its river-bottom towns are tightly built.<\/p>\n Coal mining has shaped Logan County’s economy since the early 1900s and remains a major employer, alongside health care (Logan Regional Medical Center), county and municipal government, and small retail and service businesses concentrated along US 119 and WV 10. Logan hosts the annual West Virginia Coal Festival, celebrating the county’s mining heritage with a parade and downtown events.<\/p>\n Logan County was formed in 1824 from parts of Giles, Tazewell, Cabell, and Kanawha counties in what was then Virginia, and became part of West Virginia when it was admitted to the Union in 1863. It is named for Chief Logan, a Mingo leader of the 18th century. The county was the staging ground for the 1921 Battle of Blair Mountain, one of the largest armed labor uprisings in U.S. history, and on February 26, 1972, the collapse of a coal-slurry impoundment sent the Buffalo Creek Flood through the county, killing 125 people.<\/p>\n US Route 119 and US Route 52 are the county’s main highways, along with WV Routes 10, 17, 44, 73, and 80.<\/p>\n The nearest commercial airport is Yeager Airport in Charleston.<\/p>\n Where is Logan County, West Virginia?<\/strong> What is the population of Logan County?<\/strong> How big is Logan County?<\/strong> What is the county seat of Logan County?<\/strong> How many towns are in Logan County?<\/strong> What ZIP codes are in Logan County?<\/strong> |
