The name of the settlement was changed from Log to Log pri Brezovici (literally, 'Log near Brezovica') in 1953.[3] Before this it was often referred to as Log pri Ljubljani (literally, 'Log near Ljubljana'), and this name is often still used today.[4][5][6]
The local church in the settlement is dedicated to John the Baptist and belongs to the Parish of Brezovica.[7]
The route of the former rail line from Brezovica pri Ljubljani to Vrhnika passes through Log pri Brezovici. The rail line was completed in 1899 and was abandoned in 1966.[8] A road overpass over the rail line was built in 1952.[9]
