Danes

The first Danes in New York were sailors in the crew of Henry Hudson’s ship the Halve Maen, which sailed into New York Harbor in 1609. Among the Danish settlers in New York was Jonas Bronck, who in 1629 bought a large tract of land north of Manhattan. The Bronck surname might be the etymological origin behind the Bronx. In 1675 lived at least 100 Danes in New York. In 1704 the Danes together with the Norwegians build a small Lutheran chapel near the intersection of

Lutheran but many married outside their religious and ethnic group. The health insurance organization for Scandinavian immigrants, Dania, opened a branch in Brooklyn
in 1886. From 1891 to 1953 a Danish language newspaper, Nordlyset(The Northern Light) was published. In 1930 there were around 200.000 people of Danish descent. The best-known Dane from New York is Jacob A. Riis, a photographer and writer, who wrote the book How the How the Other Half Lives which exposed the poor living conditions in the slums of New York. He was called “New York’s most useful citizen” by
President Theodore Roosevelt and his work led to new reforms and regulations.[2]

Norwegians

The first Norwegians immigrated to New Amsterdam during the seventeenth century. One of the immigrants was Anneken Henriksen who married Jan Arentzen van der Bilt a forebear of the Vanderbilt family. The booming maritime industry attracted Norwegians to the city to work with the industry. In 1869 there lived about 6000 Norwegians in New York with most living in Brooklyn. In 1940 there were about 55.000 first and second generation Norwegians in New York. In 1990 the Norwegian population in the city had fallen to about 10.000 and in 2007 more than 20.000 claimed to be of Norwegian descent. One of the best known Norwegian from New York is Thor Solberg, a pioneer in aviator, who was the first person to fly solo from the United States to Norway in 1935[3]
