Norfolk was a location selected by scouts for German Lutherans looking to establish a new settlement in 1865. The initial group of 124 settlers arrived there on 15 July, 1866. As the site was at the junction of the Elkhorn River and the North Fork, the settlement was named North Fork, which transmuted to Norfolk.
