Originally called Sarper County
when formed in 1871, Logan County was renamed in 1875 in honor of
early pioneer James Logan who participated in the first territorial
and state legislatures. From its early days, the county has had
two courthouses, Paris, and Booneville.
Logan County is only one of two
counties in Arkansas that has two national forests within its boundaries,
the Ozark and Ouachita National Forests. The State's newest state
park lies within the Ozark National Forest, on top of Mt. Magazine
and bears its name. Mt. Magazine, the State's highest mountain at
2,753 feet, is the highest point between the Appalachians and the
Rockies.
In addition to Paris and Booneville,
seven other towns are found in the County - Blue Mountain, Caulksville,
Magazine, Morrison Bluff, Ratcliff, Scranton, and Subiaco. The Subiaco
Abbey and Academy in Subiaco is the oldest Benedictine monastery
and only catholic boarding school for boys in Arkansas.
