Butka was founded over 300 years ago as an Ostrog with an attached Sloboda . Initially, mainly exiles and old believers who had fled from Tsarist Russia settled here . Most of the population worked in agriculture and forestry. Only after the Russian Revolution in 1917 were several factories built, mostly for processing agricultural products. The village church has been converted into a cinema . In 1949 the place was connected to the rail network and in 1950 received its own train station; the line was closed in the 1990s.

From 1924 the village was the administrative seat of a Rajons (Butkinski rajon) of the Ural Oblast , within this from 1926 to 1930 in the portfolio of the Okrug Schadrinsk . The Rajon was temporarily dissolved in 1932, but restored as part of Chelyabinsk Oblast on January 18, 1935 after the 1934 Oblast was partitioned . On October 3, 1938, Raion and Ort became part of Sverdlovsk Oblast. On February 1, 1963, the Rajon was dissolved again and its territory joined the Talizki rajon to the north.
