New Kingman-Butler is an unincorporated community and a census-designated place (CDP) in Mohave County, Arizona, United States directly north of and bordering the city of Kingman. The population was 14,810 at the 2000 census.
Name and History
New Kingman-Butler was named for Leroy Butler (not to be confused with LeRoy Butler, the NFL player), who was the original land developer of this unincorporated community. "New Kingman" was the name of the original real estate development, but it is seldom used by residents except in a historical sense. The area commonly is referred to simply as "Butler." Butler is a distinct locale among the neighborhoods of Kingman.
Butler makes up a substantial amount of the land area of the Kingman area as a whole, but is unincorporated, and is governed directly by Mohave County. There have been numerous plans and attempts to annex all or parts of Butler into the City of Kingman over the years, since it is an integral part of the Kingman community, but each has failed. One major problem with annexation into Kingman is the fact that Butler does not have a developed sanitary sewer system; all residences and buildings in Butler have individual septic tanks. The costs of developing and connecting a sewer system to all customers in Butler, if annexed into Kingman, is considerable. The fiscal assets required for such an investment by the City of Kingman likely could not be raised without assessment of a primary property tax on all landowners in the city; however, no such primary parcel tax has been approved by voters.
