LaSalle referred to the Ohio River as the "La Belle Rivière," which translates to "the Beautiful River." This name highlighted the river's significance and beauty as he explored the region in the late 17th century. LaSalle's expeditions contributed to European knowledge of the river and its strategic importance in North America.
