History

Logan 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 district was originally formed in October 1962 from parts of Kingsford Smith district and Griffith districts [1].  Its first District Commissioner was G. Taylor [2]. 

In 1984, It was renamed Logan Central district” and was last mentioned in the Brisbane South Area directory in 1984 [3].  Logan Central district was renamed Logan City district and first mentioned in 1988 Brisbane South area directories [4], 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 [5].  Logan District was re-launched in 2005, with the renaming of Logan City district, to Logan district.
