Norway is a census-designated place (CDP) in Union Township, White County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.

[6] A large share of the early settlers being natives of Norway caused the present name to be selected.

The dam holds Lake Shafer, the home of Indiana Beach, an amusement park and campground.

Despite the small area and population, the central location of Norway and the convenience of the Norway Bridge river crossing (connecting the more populated West Shafer and East Shafer Drives) have allowed for the continued presence and success of several restaurants and other small businesses.

20.7% of all households were made up of individuals, and 10.1% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
