COUNTY NAMED FOR: John Alexander Logan, soldier, statesman, Illinois Senator, and presidential candidate.
COUNTY SEAT NAMED FOR: Guthrie originated in 1887 as a railroad station called Deer Creek on the Southern Kansas Railway (later acquired by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway) from the Kansas–Oklahoma border to Purcell. The name was later changed to Guthrie, named for jurist John Guthrie of Topeka, Kansas.
COURTHOUSES: A two-story stone building served as the County Courthouse from 1893 to 1907 when the current courthouse was compeleted. However, Guthrie was designated as the state capital upon statehood and the county leased the structure to the state as the first State Capitol Building. The county used leased space until the capital was moved to Oklahoma City in 1910 and the county regained control of the building.
STANDING: 1907 building that first served as the State Capitol building from 1907 - 1910 before the State Seal was moved to Oklahoma City.
