It is surmised that the first Europeans came from Viking backgrounds. An explorer named Leif Erikson visited the east coast of North America almost 500 years before Columbus.

The simple answer is, no body knows. There is evidence that the Vikings made it to Greenland and most likely Nova Scotia but we can't be sure who was first.

It'a a matter of some debate, but probably the Vikings.
