Town of Norge, Oklahoma Norge is a community located 4 miles SW of Chickasha on State Hwy 92 in Grady County, OK. Norge is situated along the St. Norge was settled about 1907 as Norden.

Louis and San Francisco Railway on the old Allie townsite. The Norden post office was established on January 27, 1908, and its designation was changed to Norge on March 21, 1908. President Theodore Roosevelt commissioned Norwegian immigrant Anfin Ersland, a Civil Ware veteran, as Norger's first postmaster. Norge, the Norwegian-language word for Norway, honored a large group of Norwegians who settled the farming community. They traveled from Iowa on two railroad passenger cars in 1907 in search of their own land. Norwegian families from Illinois joined them later. In 1918 the community had 60 people, and by 1930, 300. Norge incorporated in 1971, and the 1980 and 1990 census counted 87 and 97 inhabitants, respectively. The 2000 census listed 82, and in 2010 Norge's population had grown to 145. Early Norge included a railroad depot, a Western Union office, two grain elevators, two cotton gins, a lumberyard, two service stations, a blacksmith shop, two churches, and a grade school. The Great Depression and the Dust Bowl took their toll on Norge. The lack of good water hampered the town's growth. By 1943 two businesses, one of which housed the post office, and the depot remained. Post Office closed in 1954. Establishment of rural water has provided a good residential setting for families southwest of Chickasha, including many descendants of Norge's founding Norwegian settlers.
