Henry Hugh Logan Papers
Collection DescriptionHistorical NoteHenry Hugh Logan (1923-2005) was born in Athens, Georgia, and founded the Normal Hardware Company.

Following an unsuccessful bid for re-election to the House in 1986, Logan was again elected to the Clarke County Commission in 1990, but did not take office since voters in the same election authorized a new unified Athens-Clarke County government. Logan subsequently ran for the position of Fifth District Commissioner for the unified government and served three four-year terms. As a member of the Athens-Clarke County Unified Government, Logan focused on effective and efficient services being provided by the new consolidated government and on improvements to the countyís bridges and roads infrastructure.
