Butler is a city in Butler County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 15,121 at the 2000 census. It is the county seat of Butler County.
The city was named for Maj. Gen. Richard Butler, who fell at the Battle of the Wabash, also known as St. Clair’s Defeat, in western Ohio in 1791. The first settlers were of Irish or Scottish descent and were driving westward from Connecticut. In 1802 the German immigrants began arriving, with Detmar Basse settling in Jackson Township in 1802 and founding Zelienople the following year. After George Rapp arrived in 1805 and founded Harmony, the trickle of settlers grew tremendous numbers. John A. Roebling settled Saxonburg in 1832, by which time all counties were filled with German settlers.
