Norway, MI

Norway is a Dickinson County city on U.S. 2, with U.S. 8 ending here and M-95 and U.S. 41 branching into the wider Iron Mountain area. The town was platted in 1879 and incorporated in 1891; its name is commonly tied to the stand of Norway pines near the original site. The Menominee River forms part of the broader regional map, while Norway Speedway occupies the Dickinson County fairgrounds. The city’s local history stays close to the rail-and-mining story of Michigan’s western Upper Peninsula. The local shorthand is Norway pines, highway junction, fairgrounds, and an Iron Mountain-area city with its own name and grid.
