The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

Logan Township is one of thirty townships in Knox County, Nebraska, United States. The population was 61 at the 2020 census. A 2023 estimate placed the township's population at 60.

Its population held steady between the last two censuses: 68 people in 2010, 69 in 2020. Half of its homes were built before 1944.

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 Verdigris Creek Bridge in Royal, 8.2 miles away.
