Koochiching County
Koochiching County is located in North Central Minnesota along the Ontario border and was established on December 19, 1906 by the State Legislature. The county separated from Itasca County at that time. Koochiching County is named from the Ojibwe word meaning "neighbor lake and river" referring to the county's Rainy Lake and Rainy River. International Falls is the county seat. Sources: Koochiching County website. Minnesota Geographic Names, by Warren Upham (Minnesota Historical Society, 1969).
