According the The Washington Post archives, the association started about 1901 when the statue was erected. The Illinois State Society and the Dames of the Loyal Legion, headed by Mary Logan Tucker, joined with the Iowa Circle Association in 1930 to rename the circle as Logan Circle. Don't worry, the folks from Iowa were getting plenty of attention then since their man President Herbert Hoover was in The White House. There is of course a Logan Circle in Philadelphia and Logan Square in Chicago with a Logan Statue in Grant Park in Chicago and other Logan statues around the country. Thanks to the Logan Circle Community for the hospitality given to visitors from Illinois and Illinois expatriates living in the national capital region.<BR/><BR/>Mark Rhoads<BR/>Past President of the Illinois State Society of Washington, DCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
