==Historical populations==

From 1349 to 1500 the population was approximately halved by several rounds of the [[black plague]], down to approximately 250,000.

The [[1769 census (Denmark–Norway)|first official census]] for the then [[Denmark-Norway]] kingdom union was held in 1769 and found the Norwegian population to be 723 000.

Except for [[Ireland]], no other country contributed a larger percentage of its population to the [[Norwegian Americans|American immigration]] between 1825 - 1925 when more than 800,000 left Norway.

By 1905, when [[Dissolution of the union between Norway and Sweden|Norway reached full independence]], the population was 2,303,595.
