Butler Dispatch is a large news media outlet in Western Pennsylvania[1]. Based in Butler County, Pennsylvania - Butler Dispatch went through several name changes but is now one of the largest online news sources for several large television networks.
History
Founded in 2014, Butler Dispatch started originally as the Facebook page of the "Butler County, PA 911 Notifications". The Facebook page grew largely within the first few months. Within the first year, the page became the largest Facebook page in Butler County, PA.
Shortly at the end of 2016, the "Butler County, PA 911 Notifications" page merged into "Butler Social".

After several local discrepancies from several smaller news outlets, the decision to form the company as "Butler Dispatch" was agreed upon.
