  Scandinavians - 1870s: assisted migration - Te Ara Encyclopedia of New Zealand
By 1872 the government-named Scandinavian towns of Norsewood and Dannevirke were surveyed.
As farms were drawn by ballot, nationalities were mixed throughout the region, although there were concentrations of Norwegians in Norsewood and Danes in Dannevirke.
In 1888 a massive bushfire razed Norsewood and threatened to do the same to Ormondville until a timely thunderstorm extinguished it.
