Immigration – Nordic

It is thought that Viking travelers from the Nordic region may have been the first Europeans in North America. The Nordics were known for sailing and roaming over much of the planet. They started sailing to far-off places in the beginning of the 7^th century. By the 17^th and 18^th centuries, the Vikings were no longer around and wealthy Nordics were looking to North America for investment opportunities. Other Nordics were looking to escape the political and religious uncertainty in their home countries and seeking freedom in North
America.
