Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LOB-LUP
LOGANSPORT , a city and the county-seat of Cass county, Indiana, U.S.A., on the
Wabash
  river, at the mouth of the Eel river, about 67 m. N. by W. of Indianapolis and 117 M. S. by E. of Chicago. Pop. (1900) 16,204, of whom 1432 were foreign-'born, (1910
census
 ) 19,050. It is served by six divisions of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago & St Louis, two divisions of the Vandalia (
Pennsylvania
  Lines), and the
Wabash
  railways, and by electric interurban lines. The city is the seat of the Northern Indiana
Hospital
 
    See Also:
for the Insane (1888), and has a public library, and a
hospital
 
    See Also:
(conducted by the Sisters of St Joseph). Among the
principal
  buildings are the court
house
 , a Masonic temple, an Odd Fellows' temple, and buildings of the Order of Elks, of the Knights of Pythias, and of the fraternal order of Eagles. Situated in the centre of a
rich
  agricultural region, Logansport is one of the most important
grain
  and produce markets in the state. The Wabash and the Eel rivers provide good water power, and the city has various manufactures, besides the railway repair shops of the Vandalia and of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago & St Louis railways. The value of the city's factory product increased from $2,100,394 in 1900 to $2,955,921 in 1905, or 40'7%. Limestone, for use in the manufacture of iron, is quarried in the vicinity. The city owns and operates the water works and the electric-lighting plant. Logansport was platted in 1828, was probably named in honour of a Shawnee
chief
 , Captain Logan (d. 1812), became the county-seat of Cass county in 1829, and was chartered as a city in 1838.
