City of Butler Forum Meeting

A great place to live, work, and relax!

For more than 200 years, the City of Butler has been home to industry, family owned businesses and marking its place in history. Butler County has been an industrial center since the early 1800’s to the birthplace of the Bantam Jeep in 1940. From oil refining roots to the present-day Marcellus Shale boom, from railroad car manufacturing in the past, to the headquarters of Westinghouse Nuclear today, Butler County is the industrial hub of the area.

Butler, PA was named one of the Best 20 Small Towns in America by Smithsonian Magazine.

Our downtown shopping and restaurant district is a thriving, nationally accredited Main Street community. As the county seat, the City of Butler is also the hub of government and commercial activity. Conveniently close to the city of Pittsburgh and its world-class education medicine, arts and sports, the City of Butler truly provides residents with metropolitan living and small town convenience.
