​History: The land around Butterfield was described as rolling prairies diversified and enriched by beautiful lakes of pure water and numerous creek and rivers that flow through. Later to attract settlers, the area was described as the soil that is rich, dark, colored loam, varying from 2-4 feet in depth.

Butterfield’s history is not neatly compiled in a book. Rather most of the history comes from a variety of sources and is pieced together some by memoirs and some by memory. More on the history of Butterfield including how the City got its' name can be found here.
