(In some cultures, water jugs were balanced on the head, but the back seems to have been more common for transporting certain things, depending on the weight and the shape of the item.) In the earliest years of the United States, hunters and some explorers used a version of the backpack to carry the gear they needed. But back then, they were not called backpacks.
At one time, these handy inventions used to be called "rucksacks" (from a German word that means "the human back") or "packsacks." It doesn't seem to have been until the 1910s when the term "backpack" came into use. Some people attribute the success of the modern backpack to an inventor named Dick Kelty, whose lightweight and very portable backpacks became especially popular with hikers and outdoorsmen beginning in the 1950s.
