History

Outing was registered on January 2, 1909 by William H. Andrews. [3]

Etymology

Crooked Lake derives its name from the English translation of the lake's Objibwe name, Wewagigumag sagaiigun.[3]

On March 6, 1919, Crooked Lake was renamed to Lake Roosevelt, in honor of the recently deceased President Theodore Roosevelt, who died on January 6 of that year. [3]

Surrounding lakes in the Crooked Lake and Beulah Townships, including Lakes George, Washburn, Lawrence, Leavitt, and Morrison are named after lumbermen working in the surrounding pine forests.[3]

The name of the unincorporated community of Outing comes from Andrews’ vision of creating a place where urban Minnesotans and sportsmen could take short summer trips, or “outings.”[3]
