Known by Europeans; it's been "known" / inhabited for at least 10.000 years. As far as I'm aware there's no records of other major players visiting / "discovering" it though besides the Norse.

It was known by Polynesians for at least 1000 years before Columbus. See sweet potatoes.
Where do you think the Native Americans came from?

They are not exactly descendants of the Norse.
