Norway is one of the five Nordic countries and one the three Scandinavia countries. Norway has a long history of migrations, including a migration to North America in the middle of the 19th century. Norwegian immigration to the United States is prominent in the mid-west, however there is quite a population in New York City. A large concentration of the Norwegian community in the five boroughs is in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Discussed here is the impact of the Norwegian community in Staten Island and parts of Brooklyn.
