Logan,WV - The Hatfield and the McCoys Have Movie Night

Welcome to Logan, WV, formerly named Islands of Guyandot, Lawsonsville, Lawnsville, and Aracoma.  Originally explored in the 1780s, the city didn't decide on the current final version of its name until 1907.  Logan was a hub of the regional coal industry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but the population began to decline after World War II with the increase of mechanized mining techniques.  While Logan was home to a surprising number of notable people, like heavyweight boxing champ Jack Dempsey, there are none more recognizable than Devil Anse Hatfield, the partiarch of the Hatfields during the beginnings of the Hatfield McCoy feud.  In a strange twist of fate, the area is littered with attractions bearing the names of both clans  like the Hatfield and McCoy Moonshine Distillery, the Hatfield McCoy Trail System, and the Hatfield and McCoy Convention and Visitors Bureau.  To learn more about the feud and how the two families feel about each other today, listen to the totally made up stuff we improv about them.  Enjoy your time in Logan, and remember to never mess with another man's pig.Small Town News--whose headline is it, anyway? @SmallTownNewsImprov
