History

Gandy was the first seat of Logan County. [5] An election on July 25, 1885, established the town of Gandy and named it the Logan County seat. [6] Gandy was named after an early settler, Jim Gandy, [7] [8] who agreed to donate the land for the town in exchange for the naming rights. [6] Gandy was the largest town in Logan County until a Union Pacific spur line bypassed it to the north, and terminated at a newly established town, Stapleton, in 1913. Gandy remained the county seat until an election held on May 2, 1929, changed the seat to Stapleton. [9]
