According to the United States Census Bureau, Loganton has a total area of 1.0 square mile (2.7 km2), all land.

[4] In 1800, Sugar Valley (where Loganton is in) was part of Miles Township, Centre County.

Dr. Caspar Wistar (1761-1818), celebrated Professor of Anatomy at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, was listed in 1790 as owning and having surveyed several thousand acres of “unseated lands” of what would later become part of Logansville.

The portion of the Wistar tract of land on which Logansville eventually stood was bought by John Kleckner (who, in about 1800, built Sugar Valley’s earliest grist mill and a sawmill).

On the original survey maps the village was to be called Alpine but was officially called Logansville deriving its name from Logan Township and in turn was named after the Native American Indian, Chief James Logan, son of Chief Shikellamy.
