Translated from 'Nordmændene i Amerika' by Martin Ulvestad. 1907. Wright County The first Norwegian settler in this county (at least, the first that is known of) was Michael Johnson (Moen) from Selbu, near Trondhjem. He settled at Smith Lake in 1858, but moved after a couple of years to Acton, Meeker Co. and later to Hennepin Co. where we find further information about him. In Wright County there is just one Norwegian congregation and one church. The congregation, which is Lutheran, stands outside any community connection. There is only one Norwegian place name, Lund.
