West Logan was historically home to Falls Mill, a mill built in 1815 by former Ohio governor Thomas Worthington. Falls Mill Bridge, connecting West Logan to the city of Logan through Ohio State Route 664, was named after the mill.
West Logan formerly housed an alternative elementary school in the Logan-Hocking School District.
