“Logan County, the sixty-fifth county created, was first given the name of Sarber county, after J. Newton Sarber, Senator from the Sixth District. It was formed March 22, 1871, out of territory taken from the counties of Yell, Johnson, Franklin and Scott. The temporary seat of justice was located at Reveille, C.P. Anderson, James L. White and James S. Garner were appointed Commissioners to locate the county seat permanently; but afterwards, in 1873, James R. Saferry, Daniel R. Lee and James A. Shrigley were appointed to locate it, and they established it at Paris, where it has since remained. By Act of the Legislature of December 14, 1875, the name of the county was changed to Logan county, in honor of Colonel James Logan, on of the pioneers in that part of the State. “  Cited from “A Pictorial History of Arkansas From Earliest Times to the year 1890” By Fay Hempstead, St. Louis and New York N.D.
