It is said to have happened 500 years before Columbus came to America (according to the myth). But one could put it this way...
They came form the "east" expanding and growing in what manner they could along the timeframe and places that has been recorded in history. Steadily heading West all the time, and did not at all stay put in Iceland or today's United Kingdom. However there were tribes or parts of tribes that decided to stay on these islands amidst the way to America.
An advanced guessing is that they already landed in America during the first viking crusades, and not during the second when it is said that they discovered it.
The Vikings landed in the Maritime provinces of Canada. The area they called Vinland is likely Newfoundland.
Possibly Baffin Island; also, there was a settlement at Leifsbudir (L'Anse aux Meadows), Newfoundland, around 1000 AD. [per Wikipedia.org]

They Didn't arrive in America. They were from Europe so they didn't go to America
No. Vikings were from Scandinavia and Aztecs from South America.
No Washington was the first president in 1789. Explorers began arriving in North America in the 1400's except for the Vikings which were earlier, so they would be the first.
Answer: the Native Americans were the first people in the Americas for thousands of years. The Vikings were the first Europeans to arrive in the New World, getting there as early as the 900s. Christopher Columbus didn't arrive until 1492. He is credited with "discovering America", but that is obviously not true.
The Vikings, from Scandinavia, were probably the first to arrive at North America by ship, but their discovery was not widely known in most of Europe. Christopher Columbus, an Italian, sailing for Spain, was the first to make his arrival known to all of Western Europe.
