Butler sits in the rich, fertile rolling hills of Northern Kentucky’s Licking River Valley, about halfway between Cincinnati and Lexington. The tiny city, with just over 600 residents, sits on the scenic Licking River. It’s definitely a rural lifestyle with plenty of hometown atmosphere. Butler was established in 1852, and before the name change to honor U.S. congressmen William O. Butler, it was originally called Fourth Lock, because of its destination as the fourth lock on the Licking River. Butler is located eight miles north of Falmouth.
