Established on May 7, 1824, Logan County was named in honor of the famous Mingo Indian leader, Chief Logan.
The county seat began as the village of Lawsonville in 1827. The name came from Anthony Lawson, who established a trading post in the area. Over time, the name was shortened to Lawnsville. It was later incorporated in 1852 as Aracoma, with Thomas Dunn English — author of the poem Ben Bolt — serving as its first mayor.
Logan County played a central role in significant historical events such as the West Virginia Mine Wars and the Battle of Blair Mountain, one of the largest labor uprisings in U.S. history.
In 1955, Logan was the leading coal-producing county in the United States.
