Logan Village, Queensland

Logan Village is a low density semi-rural suburb. The area has remained remote with few commercial or retail outlets. The Logan River passes through the middle of the suburb as does the disused Beaudesert railway line from Bethania to Beaudesert and the Waterford–Tamborine Road.{{Citation needed|date=February 2022}}

The name derives from the river which was named by Ralph Darling, the Governor of New South Wales, after Captain Patrick Logan. The township was referred to by various names in the colonial era, including Village of Logan, Town of Logan, and Logan Town.

Waterford-Tamborine Road (State Route 95) runs through from north to south.{{Google maps |url=https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/Logan+Village+QLD+4207/@-27.789105,153.045076,12z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x6b913f345af0bea5:0x502a35af3de8ed0!8m2!3d-27.7786215!4d153.1013238?hl=en |access-date=1 October 2022 |title=Logan Village, Queensland}}

In 1827, Captain Patrick Logan, commandant of the Moreton Bay penal colony, made an expedition to Mount Barney. The expedition is believed to have camped beside the Logan River near present-day Logan Village; Logan notes in his journal, "June 19th.—…at two o’clock arrived at the Logan, not fordable; stopped for the night;".{{cite news|title=Shipping lntelligence.

The area was initially subject to settlement restrictions. Until 1842 a {{convert|50|miles|km|adj=on}} exclusion radius for the penal colony prohibited free settlers.
