Norway is an unincorporated community in Thomas County, Nebraska, United States. [1]

History

Norway was established in the 1880s when the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad was extended to that point. [2] A large share of the early settlers being natives of Norway likely caused the name to be selected. [3] The first post office in Norway opened in 1887, and operated until 1935. [4]
