About Logan Heights
Logan Heights is a neighborhood in central San Diego, California. In 1871,
Congressman John A. Logan wrote legislation to provide federal land grants and
subsidies for a transcontinental railroad ending in San Diego. A street laid in
1881 was named Logan Heights after him, and the name came to be applied to the
general area. Plans for a railroad never successfully materialized, and the area
was predominantly residential by the turn of the century, becoming one of San
Diego's oldest communities. Its transformation began in 1910 with the influx of
refugees of the Mexican Revolution, who soon became the majority ethnic group.
For this reason, residents and non-residents alike now call the neighborhood
Barrio Logan, though officially it remains Logan Heights.
Barrio Logan is known to historians, art connoisseurs, and Chicanos as the home
of Chicano Park, the site of a land takeover and cultural renaissance. Because
of this activity, which began with the Chicano Movement and continues today,
Barrio Logan claims numerous famous artists and activists as its own.
