Butler, NJ, US / NJ
Butler in Morris County is just a little over two square miles in size but the tiny borough is documented in history as having been the oldest and largest manufacturer of Hard Rubber products in the world. The products were made from recycled rubber. In front of one of the still existing historic factory complex buildings is a historical marker that was erected in 1979 by the Morris County New Jersey Heritage Commission. It reads: “American Hard Rubber Company 1898. Company and Affiliated Predecessors and Oldest Manufacturer of Hard Rubber Products in the World/ Butler Model Industrial Village Developed Around Rubber Industry in 1880. Town Named for Richard Butler, Rubber Executive.”
