About Synnøve – Nordkap

Synnøve-Nordkap Lodge #1-008

Sons of Norway is divided into 8 districts. District 1 was the first district and cuts a vertical swath through the US from Minnesota to Texas. There are six other districts in the U.S. and Canada, and the 8th district is Norway itself. We were the 8th lodge founded in District 1. Founded in 1902, we are one of the oldest lodges. See the Sons of Norway website (http://www.sofn.com) for more information on the larger organization and on the other districts and lodges.
