1859 · Logan is Founded
"\""During the end of April, David Reese and his company settled the land north of the Logan River. That area was the second permanent settlement in Cache Valley and the future location of Logan. The city's boundary was drawn by Logan's first bishop, Jesse W. Fox, a government engineer. The name \""\""Logan\""\"" comes from a trapper that used to frequent the area before the pioneers came to the valley.\"""

Name Meaning
English (Staffordshire): variant of Darracott, a habitational name from one or other of several places originally named Dod(d)ecote (‘Dodda's cottage’ from the Old English personal name Dodda + Old English cot), with post-medieval development of intervocalic d to r and unrounding of o to a. The Devon surname is from either of two places called Darracott in Georgeham and Welcombe (both in Devon), or from Higher Darracott in Great Torrington (Devon). All of them are earlier recorded as Doddecote. The Staffordshire surname is probably from Dodcott in Audlem (Cheshire), which lies nine miles west of Aston (Staffordshire). The Shropshire surname may alternatively derive from Dodecote Grange, in Child's Ercall (Shropshire), but no evidence has been found for a medieval surname referring to this place.
