About Logan Barrio:

Logan Barrio is one of the original Mexican barrios in Santa Ana.  This neighborhood is located on major street names including Logan Street, Lincoln Street, Santa Ana Boulevard, Washington Street, Santiago Street, and Custer Street. Its roots trace back to 1886 with the founding of Santa Ana East, where Mexican and Indigenous families soon began to settle and grow the area into more than just a place to live. Before Logan Barrio was conceived, its territorial origins initiated with the Indigenous people that inhabited it prior to colonization. The land of Logan Barrio is home to the ancestral lands of the Acjachemen people. From 1769-1821, the Spanish colonial period created Christian missionaries throughout Southern California and later on sold 62,000 acres of land and formed Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana.
