History

Norway was originally called Mt. Walleston, and under the latter name was laid out in 1845. A large share of the early settlers being natives of Norway caused the present name to be selected. A post office was established at Norway in 1898, but was soon discontinued, in 1899.

Geography

Norway is located at 40°46′55″N 86°46′4″W / 40.78194°N 86.76778°W / 40.78194; -86.76778 (40.781877, -86.767850).

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 0.9 square miles (2.3 km), of which 0.9 square miles (2.3 km) is land and 0.1 square miles (0.26 km) (6.32%) is water.

Norway is on Tippecanoe River just below the Norway Dam. The dam holds Lake Shafer, the home of Indiana Beach, an amusement park and campground. Norway’s Southern boundary is also the Northern boundary of Monticello, the more populated county seat and just west of Norway there is the golf course and hotel resort, Pine View.

Despite the small area and population, the central location of Norway and the convenience of the Norway Bridge river crossing (connecting the more populated West Shafer and East Shafer Drives) have allowed for the continued presence and success of several restaurants and other small businesses.
