Leif Ericson was the first European Viking to set foot in the New World ( America), 500 years before Christopher Columbus. However, the vikings made few voyages to America after Leif and it was forgotten again until Christopher Columbus found it again in 1492.
The Vikings found the first European settlement in North America in 1520. The Vikings are known for being a ruthless people.
The Vikings founded Vinland, a settlement in the current Canadian Province of Newfoundland and Labrador roughly around 1000 C.E.
The vikings originated in Europe, they did not settle there. They arose in Scandinavia during the late first millennium CE.
So the historial record goes. I think Viking (Norsemen?) settlements and camp remains have been found, obviously in Greenland, but in the Atlantic Provinces of Canada, as well.

When did the European Explorers first arrive in America?
This is a disputed answer. Some say the first European explorers to reach America were the Vikings, with Leif Erickson being the first of them. However, the settlement he founded in about the year 1000 AD in what the vikings called Vinland, and was probably on the coast of modern Newfoundland, Canada, lasted only a short time and the Vikings did not follow-up with further exploration and settlement. Erikson's exploration and settlement had little effect on Europe and none that we know of on America. The European exploration and settlement of America that had a lasting effect on both Europe and America was that which followed the exploratory journey of Christopher Columbus (called ChristoffaCorombo in his native Genoa and Cristóbal Colón in Spain) in the year 1492, some 500 years after Leif Erikson.
