Butte Falls was incorporated in 1911 and was formed as a logging town. The logging industry has pretty much died out here, but there still are a few. We are surrounded by timber on all sides. I do believe we are in Ripely's Believe It Or Not for being the only town in the United States that has a fence around it. The fence is to keep the cows out (free range) but sometimes we like to say it's to keep the people in. Our population is 435 and since we are fenced in there is virtually no room for growth. We have clean air and the best drinking water around, coming from Ginger Springs.

We are in the process of creating a water bottling plant to produce bottled spring water. This has been a very long process and is continually ongoing.

We have a mayor and six council members that oversee the town and try and keep it on track. We also have many volunteers in this community with hugh hearts that see that things get done.
