Established in the center of Springfield Township in York County, Pennsylvania in 1820, the land which would ultimately become the community of Loganville was surveyed by Robert Richie and plotted by auctioneer Robert Wilson, who later named the town in honor of Colonel Henry Logan, a prominent, 19th-century politician.

Its first elected officials were Chief Burgess John F. Beck Sr., Assistant Burgess Michael Snyder, Judge John F. Beck, Constable Charles Overmiller, and borough council members Daniel Goodling, John Hildebrand, Adam Krout, Samuel Smith, and Frederick Venus.

School directors were Joseph Hartman, Casper Hildebrand and Henry Kerlinger.

There were three hundred seventy-seven housing units at an average density of 379.5 per square mile (146.5/km2).

23.8% of all households were made up of individuals, and 11.1% had someone living alone who was sixty-five years of age or older.
