About This Tool
The United States once did a census, and most people living in the United States now emigrate from Europe as early as the 17th century. According to the census, Norwegian-Americans also make up a large proportion of Americans. Norwegian immigration to the United States peaked in the late 19th century and the first decade of the 20th century.
Historically, most of the Norwegian Americans lived in the Midwest, especially Minnesota, western Wisconsin, northern Iowa, and Dakota. Many of the Norwegian Americans are educated, work and live here, and have earned a place in their fields, becoming world-famous. The random tool records 596 well known Norwegian American, including historians, sociologists, architects, actors, singers, musicians, and more. Interested friends, you can go to the generator for a detailed view.
