Logan City was incorporated by an act of the Territorial Legislature, approved Jan. 17, 1866, and it embraces all that portion of Cache County contained within the following boundaries, to wit: Commencing at the South bank of the Logan River, at the mouth of Logan Canyon, thence in a northerly direction along the base of the mountains three miles, thence west to the Logan and Hyde Park Canal; thence southerly along said Canal to a point where the Hyde Park ditch is taken out of said Canal, thence west on the line of said ditch to the southeast corner of the north half of the southwest quarter of section fourteen, township twelve north, range one west, thence west one half mile, thence north one fourth mile, thence west to the west bank of Little Bear River, thence south along the bank of said Little Bear River, thence in an easterly direction along the bank of said river to the place of beginning. Its location is the best that could have been chosen in northern Utah for a large city, with numerous commercial interests and manufacturing establishments. Ample water power for any number of mills is furnished by Logan River, with its branches, which flows directly through the city. Being situated at the foot of a grand range of mountains, and being the center of a number of pretty villages it presents a beautiful appearance. The Utah and Northern Railroad passes through the valley on the west side of the city. Municipal elections occur biennially (even years), on the first Monday of March. The city is divided into five municipal wards, each of which is represented in the common council by any Alderman chosen from the ward by the electors of the city at large, which latter also choose at the same time, a complete list of city officials being at present as follows.
