The population was 22,940 at the 2000 census, making it the tenth-largest city in Nebraska. It is the principal city of the Norfolk Micropolitan Statistical Area. Norfolk is the eastern terminus of the Cowboy Trail. The original name of the colony was a variant of "North Fork," but accounts differ on the exact name: "Northfork," "Nor'fork," and "Nordfork" are all suggested. The name was submitted to federal postal authorities, and at some point was transmuted to "Norfolk." The pronunciation "Norfork" is still used by many Nebraskans.
