Viking settlement of Greenland lasted for approximately 300 years. In 985 AD, Erik the Red became the first Viking to discover Greenland. From that initial settlement, the colony in Greenland grew to over 300 farms, 22 churches and a nunnery. However, settlement of Greenland collapsed in the 14th century and the colonies were never heard from again after 1408 AD.
