The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

Logan Township is a township in Mitchell County, Kansas, United States. As of the 2020 census, its population was 121.

Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population fell from 125 to 121 (-3%). Half of its homes were built before 1940.

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Logan yet — the old photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

Nothing in Logan is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Logan has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Pott's Ford Bridge in Solomon, 6.8 miles away.
