The first known Norwegian settler in Texas was Johannes Nordboe. He was in his seventies when he arrived with his wife and children in 1841. Johannes settled in a short distance from Dallas. In 1850 there were 105 persons born in Norwegian. Johan Reinert Reinertsen arrived in 1845 and settled Henderson County. Johan established the magazine Norge og Amerika while still in Norway, but turned it into an emigration newsletter, and operated it from Texas. | |||
