Indian villages are known to have existed beside both the Raccoon and Oldmans Creeks. Most pre‑European settlements were associated with stream corridors.

Early Native American communities relied on the township's natural resources until the arrival of Europeans. Recent archaeological finds show that humans have been present on the land within township boundaries for approximately 10,000 years. Subsequent secessions from Woolwich reduced the land area, with Franklin Township being formed from Greenwich and Woolwich in 1820, Harrison Township in 1844, and West Woolwich (Logan) in 1877. In 1767 the name was changed to Woolwich Township when the Township was formally incorporated. It encompassed an area of 40,000 acres and included the area of Logan Township as well as Woolwich and what is today part of Franklin and all of Harrison Townships. In 1750 'South Greenwich Township' was formed from Greenwich Township. The Township was originally part of the Civil Organization of West Jersey, established in 1676, and was within Greenwich Township, one of the four incorporated jurisdictions in what is now Gloucester County. Senator who was a major supporter of equal rights for former slaves after the Civil War, a leading architect of veterans legislation, and the 'father' of the Memorial Day holiday. A year later the name was changed to Logan in honor of John Alexander Logan (1826‑1886), a Civil War general and U.S. The current 9,660 square foot building was opened in October of 1995, and holds a collection of almost 25,000 items.Logan Township was incorporated on Maas West Woolwich Township. Although this was meant to be temporary, the trailer served as the library for 15 years. In 1980 the Logan Branch moved to a refurbished office trailer parked on a lot owned by the Beckett Assembly of God. The Logan Township Branch of the Gloucester County Library System began in the winter of 1979 in a gas station off Center Square Road and moved shortly thereafter to a vacant second floor office in the Beckett Village Shopping Center.
