Itasca County

Itasca County occupies a forested, lake-filled tract of north-central Minnesota in the United States. The Mississippi River runs through Grand Rapids, the county seat, while Pokegama Lake spreads just south of the city and the Chippewa National Forest covers parts of the wider area. Logging and iron-ore mining helped build many of the county’s communities, a legacy still evident in the region’s working identity. Grand Rapids is also the birthplace of Judy Garland; her childhood home is preserved as a local museum. Fishing, boating and winter recreation suit the county’s water-and-woods setting.
