Chalfont is a borough with home rule status in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, United States.

Butler was a giant historical figure who acted as a legal and economic powerhouse in the area.

Between then and 1901 Chalfont held several names, including Butler's Mill, Kungle's Tavern, Barndtsville, and Whitehallville.

For many years, the most important building in the area was the tavern and public house, which has burnt down many times and now stands as Leonardo's Pizza.

Forest Park began as a small picnic grounds with frequent live music.

In time, the grounds grew to become a small amusement park where locals could enjoy rides, a large swimming pool built in the 1930s, music (including string bands in the 1940s), and a host for many company picnics.

Part of the farmland included woods of mostly oak locally known as Eckhart's Grove which was frequently used for dance parties, family gatherings, religious camp meetings and Sunday School picnics.

Later, in 1885, the mill was owned by Philip B. Grove who leased it to Valentine B. Clymer and Matthew S. Cogan when it burned again and was never rebuilt.

Another gristmill was built in 1793 not far from where Bulter's mill was first operated by men named Miller and Evans, later by Francis D. Hartzel.

About 1761, Henry Lewis built a stone tavern operated by George Kungle during the Revolutionary period.

William Stevens had a store on the south bank of the West Branch Neshaminy Creek and opened a post office in 1845.

The average wettest month is July, which corresponds with the annual peak in thunderstorm activity.

Ice storms and large snowstorms depositing ≥ 12 inches (30 cm) of snow occur once every few years, particularly during nor’easters from December through February.

Several of these are former residences which are currently occupied by businesses and are concentrated near the intersection of Butler Avenue (U.S. Route 202 Business) and North Main Street (Pennsylvania Route 152) and extend along North Main Street.

PA 152 follows a southeast-northwest alignment via Limekiln Pike, Butler Avenue and Main Street, running concurrently with US 202 Business for a short stretch.
