Logan County
Logan County was created by the Oklahoma Organic Act in 1890 and named after John Logan, a former United States Senator. The county covers a land area of approximately 744 square miles in central Oklahoma and it is home to 49,919 people. Oklahoma's first capital city, the City of Guthrie, serves the county seat.
Logan County has two trial courts, including the District and Municipal Courts. The District Court, which is Logan County's general jurisdiction court, hears and decides all civil and criminal cases. It features a Criminal Division that presides over felony cases, misdemeanors, pre-trial motions, and other preliminary hearings. On the other hand, the District Court's Civil Division usually resolves tort claims, class action cases, personal injury lawsuits, contract breaches, and other financial disputes.
Other divisions of the District Court in Logan County include the Family, Probate, and Juvenile Divisions. These court divisions oversee legal matters involving family law cases, probates, and juveniles in the county.
