History
Logroño has been inhabited for over 500 years by the Shuar. In 1930, the first to explore the area were missionaries who traveled down from the highlands of Ecuador (Azuay and Canar). The first evangelical missionary settlements were located south of Logrono (in Chupiankas) and the first catholic missionaries were located in the town center of Logroño. Due to its geographic location and economic assets, Logroño began its intent to become a canton on 14 October 1992, and official canton and political status were recognized on 22 January 1997.
