Butler was incorporated, from portions of Pequannock Township, as a borough by the New Jersey Legislature in 1901. The community was initially called West Bloomingdale, and was given the name of Butler in 1881, for Richard Butler, owner of the Hard Rubber Company, an early employer. Butler is just south of Bloomingdale, and west of I-287.
