The History of the Christian Fish Symbol

New Norway is a hamlet located on Highway 21 100 km southeast of Edmonton and 22 km southwest of Camrose.
- In 1892, travelling first on the newly constructed Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) line, the Ole M. Olstad family disembarked in Wetaskiwin and made their way to the Duhamel settlement, which had been established for some years. The family quickly filed homesteads for themselves , some relatives and friends in the United States. In addition they purchased available CPR land for $3.00 per acre ($7.41/ha).
For a time the area was known as the "Olstead District". However, as other Norwegian families settled in the area, the name changed to New Norway around 1895.
