Logan Square is a subway station in USA on the Chicago Transit Authority's 'L' system, serving the Blue Line. It was the terminus of the Blue Line until it was extended along the Kennedy Expressway to the Jefferson Park stop in 1970 and to O'Hare Airport in 1984.

[edit] History

The present underground Logan Square station replaced an older elevated Logan Square station that opened in 1895. The older Logan Square station was the terminal of the Blue line until in 1970 when it was extended to the Kennedy Expressway to Jefferson Park station and eventually to O'Hare Airport. The Elevated station was demolished when the new station was opened.
