A lot of things have changed in Logan over the past 140 years, but one constant has been the general location of the main Logan fire station.

The first Logan fire station, built in 1880, was located a stone’s throw away on the southwest corner of 200 North and Main Street next to the Historic Cache County Courthouse. In the early 1900s, it moved across the street just north of where the vacant Burger King building now stands. And in the 1970s it shifted another half block to Church Street and 200 North.
