Originally called West Bloomingdale, this small municipality underwent a name change in 1901 as a result of famous entrepreneur Richard Butler investing in the American Hard Rubber Company in the late 1800's. In 1996, the High Point Wheat Beer Company (HPB) opened their brewery in this historic mill. Located at the intersection of Main Street and Boonton Avenue, the huge red brick building is the center of Butler, and at the turn of the century, it employed many German immigrants. Making only traditional German style wheat beers, HPB is the first and only exclusive wheat beer brewery in America. Commercial activity in Butler is concentrated along NJ 23 and Main Street.

Today Butler offers a perfect balance between the natural beauty and quality of life of northern New Jersey and the allure of Manhattan. Butler's downtown setting is nestled against the forested hills of Morris County. A Street-level shopping and village ambience create the sense of an intimate community here.
