Danish Americans  

Definition

  • Denmark's colonization of the Americas began with the arrival of the Danish West Indies Company to the Virgin Islands in the 1660s. A small trickle of Danes continued their migration to the North American continent, where the Dutch colony of New Netherlands and the religious haven of Pennsylvania also housed early Danish contingents.
