History

Logan City district is named after Logan City Council, which is named after the Commandant of the Moreton Bay Penal Settlement, Captain Patrick Logan. Patrick Logan was an explorer and in 1826 discovered the Logan River. Logan noted the river was well suited to large-vessel traffic and was a first-class avenue to access the high-quality arable land along its banks. 

Logan City district was first mentioned in 1988 Brisbane South area directories [1], and closed in 2005, when it was renamed Logan district.  In 2002, Moreton Bay District and Logan City district were designated as part of the new Logan and Bay Region [2].
