Translated from 'Nordmændene i Amerika' by Martin Ulvestad. 1907 Indiana The Norwegian colonization attempt in this State has had poor results. In White County, not far from Lake Michigan's shores, they tried to found a settlement about 1835. There was a small group from Drammen with a few others who settled here but they soon moved away. It went similarly in Noble County, where Ole Aasland and ca. 20 others settled in 1838. Some moved east to Rochester, N.Y. and some west to Illinois. Also in St. Joseph, Porter and Marion Counties, attempts were made to establish settlements but they came to nothing. The Norwegians who are here are very scattered. In White County there is a post office with the name Norway, it lies in the area, as mentioned above, where they tried to found a Norwegian settlement. So it must be perceived as a relic of that. In Pike County there is a post office with the name Stendal. This is a good Norwegian name but there are no Norwegians.
