Henry Schoolcraft identified Lake Itasca as the river's source in 1832 . He had been part of a previous expedition in 1820 led by General Lewis Cass that had named nearby Cass Lake (which is downstream from Itasca) as the source of the river. The Ojibwe name for "Lake Itasca" was Omashkoozo-zaaga'igan (Elk Lake); this was changed by Schoolcraft to "Itasca" [1] ,., coined from a combination of the Latin words ver itas ("truth") and ca put ("head").It is one of several examples of pseudo-Indian place names created by Schoolcraft.
