Butler NJ is the hub of a Tri-Boro area along with Bloomingdale and Kinnelon. As all 3 are chartered as boro's under NJ's municipal government laws. This list couldn't be titled as a Tri-Boro because there are quite a few areas in the state where there are tri-boro's. Butler and Kinnelon are in norheast Morris County and Bloomingdale is in northern Passaic County.

Anyone with an interest in this area is cordially invited to join the ButlerNJArea list, whether or not a current resident of the 3 boro's. Former residents are encouraged to join. Businesspersons with an interest are welcome. Anyone from one of the municipalities adjoining our tri-boro area are welcome (they include Pequannock, Pompton Lakes, Riverdale, Ringwood, Wanaque and West Milford). In other words the municipalities within a few miles of the junction of New Jersey State Highway Route 23 and Interstate 287; the area served by one of the nation's oldest roadways, Paterson - Hamburg Turnpike and one of the best loved railroad lines of the northeast USA, the Susquehanna Railway or NYS&W.
