Logan Heights is an urban neighborhood in central San Diego, California.

[2] In 1871, Congressman John A. Logan wrote legislation to provide federal land grants and subsidies for a transcontinental railroad ending in San Diego.

Plans for a railroad never successfully materialized, and the area was predominantly residential by the start of the 20th 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.

Current demographics for the neighborhood are as follows: people of Hispanic/Latino heritage make up 87.6%, followed by African-Americans at 7.1%, then non-Hispanic Whites at 3.7%, Asian at 1.4%, and others at 0.1%[3] It is part of City Council District 8 and is represented by Councilwoman Vivian Moreno.
