 Full List of All Butler, NJ Condo & Townhome Communities
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.
