Norway is an unincorporated community in Thomas County, Nebraska, United States.
History
Norway was established in the 1880s when the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad was extended to that point. A large share of the early settlers being natives of Norway likely caused the name to be selected. The first post office in Norway opened in 1887, and operated until 1935.
