The Central of Georgia Railway was built through the present area of Butler about 1850. The line is currently owned by Norfolk Southern and hosts three to four trains per day.
Butler was incorporated on February 8, 1854, but the charter was not received until 1870. Taylor County was carved from the Creek Indian territory which had in earlier years become the counties of Marion, Talbot, and Macon.
The chosen location of Butler was known as the "Fifty Mile Station" on the railroad because it was the geographical center of the railroad between Macon and Columbus, Georgia. Each town is approximately 50 miles (80 km) in either direction of Butler.
The city of Butler, Georgia, was named for General William Orlando Butler, a distinguished soldier of the Mexican–American War and a candidate for Vice President on the ticket with General Lewis Cass of Michigan.

Major Pierce Butler, born in Ireland, came to Charleston, S.C. in 1767 with the Twenty-ninth Regiment of Foot to King George III. He married Mary Bull Middleton of S.C. in 1771. After the Revolutionary War he acquired land on the Georgia Coast. In Major Butler's Legacy, Malcolm Bell states that Major Butler 'acquired the island he named for himself prior to 1784.'(2 Source). His grandson, Pierce Mease Butler, who had adopted his name succeeded the Major as owner. Roswell King and his son were overseer/managers on Butler's Island Plantation from 1802-1854. This was a rice plantation but, also, grew sugar cane. The 1825 McIntosh County Tax Digest lists 542 slaves for the Pierce Butler estate. He had been one of the leading planters in the County. The slaves were essential for rice culture because of their resistance to malaria. The slave graveyard is said to have been on the East side of the island. Due to the high water table it was unsuitable for burials as they would fill with water. At least, by the 1870s the portion of Butler land on the mainland, known as Butler Cemetery, was given for a cemetery to the slaves or their descendants.
Butler Island is now a State of Georgia Waterfowl Management area.

The "Hewitt" end of the Butler-Hewitt Trail is here at Greenwood Lake Turnpike, near the partially-restored historic Long Pond Iron Works village. I'd like to see where in Butler the other end is. The Highlands Trail, however continues across Greenwood Lake Turnpike and runs through the Long Pond ruins and north into Sterling Forest, NY.
