Logan County (standard abbreviation: LG) is a county in the U.S. state of Kansas. In 2020, 2,762 people lived there.[1] The county seat is Oakley. Oakley is also the biggest city in Logan County.[2] The county was named after Gen. John A. Logan.[3]
One of the county's most unique features is a mile long stretch of Niobrara Formation rocks. The rocks reach 100 feet high. They are called "Little Jerusalem." It is related to the same geology that formed the Badlands National Park. The formation is mostly on private land. In 2016, the Nature Conservancy bought the land, and they say they will open the area to the public.[4]
