==History==
In 1871, Congressman John A. Logan wrote legislation to provide federal land grants and subsidies for a transcontinental railroad ending in San Diego. A street laid in 1881 was named Logan Heights after him, and the name came to be applied to the general area. Plans for a railroad never successfully materialized, and the area was predominantly residential by the start of the 20th century, becoming one of San Diego's oldest communities. Its transformation began in 1910 with the influx of refugees of the Mexican Revolution, who soon became the majority ethnic group. For this reason, the southern part of the original Logan Heights neighborhood came to be called Barrio Logan. Barrio Logan was and only a few blocks located south of Logan Avenue, 28st Street to the east, 20th Street to the west and Main Street to the south.
From the early 1930s until the 1990s, Logan Heights was home to the largest black community in San Diego. Blacks were restricted to the Logan Heights area to live for over 50 years. One can easily visit Logan Heights today and still see black churches on every corner. Some blacks started leaving the Logan Heights neighborhood after the 1960s Civil Rights Movement to enclaves such as Encanto, Emerald Hills, Skyline and Oak Park. Famous black citizens lived, worked and owned business on Imperial Avenue and Oceanview Blvd, such as Dr. Ford and Dr. Kimbrough. (Kimbrough has an elementary school named after him in Logan Heights / Sherman Heights area). Both of them and others were known in Logan Heights and United States as pioneers of the Civil Rights era during the 1960s. Please look for references at the San Diego History.org/Baynard Collection, home of the largest photo history essay of blacks in Logan Heights, from 1930's - 1980's.
