Geography

Loganton is located in southern Clinton County in the Sugar Valley, part of the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians, and is situated at the northern base of Sugar Valley Mountain. Pennsylvania Route 477 and Pennsylvania Route 880 cross in the center of Loganton.

According to the United States Census Bureau, Loganton has a total area of 1.0 square mile (2.7 km2), all land. [4]

History

In 1800, Sugar Valley (where Loganton is in) was part of Miles Township, Centre County. By 1819, Logan Township was formed out of Miles Township and all of Sugar Valley was called Logan Township, Centre County. In 1840, Clinton County was formed and that part that was Logan Township, Centre County was included in Clinton County. At this time, Logan Township, Clinton County was divided into two townships, Logan and Greene and Logansville was completely surrounded by Greene Township.

Dr. Caspar Wistar (1761-1818), celebrated Professor of Anatomy at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, was listed in 1790 as owning and having surveyed several thousand acres of “unseated lands” of what would later become part of Logansville. The portion of the Wistar tract of land on which Logansville eventually stood was bought by John Kleckner (who, in about 1800, built Sugar Valley’s earliest grist mill and a sawmill). He, in turn, passed the Wistar tract on to his son, Colonel Anthony Kleckner (1793-1860).

On the original survey maps the village was to be called Alpine but was officially called Logansville deriving its name from Logan Township and in turn was named after the Native American Indian, Chief James Logan, son of Chief Shikellamy.
