A Look Back in Time

Logan Reserve began in 1862. This was when a huge area of land, about 500,000 acres, was opened up for people to settle. The very first crop grown here was cotton.

In 1864, a small church and school building was put up. This was the first public building in the area. Early settlers came from Yorkshire. In the 1890s, cutting timber and farming were the main jobs. These jobs stayed important into the early 1900s. Later, people also started growing tobacco.

The local school has a long history. It opened around 1864 as Logan Roman Catholic Non-Vested School. The Queensland Government took it over in 1875. In 1876, it became Logan Reserve Provisional School. Then, on August 1, 1914, it officially became Logan Reserve State School.
