Buttlejorrk is a parish of the County of Bourke located between Melton and Sunbury, in Victoria, Australia. It was named in 1839 by the surveyor William Darke. A township developed in the banks of the Kororoit Creek and was initially known as Aitken's Gap. By the 1890s it had commonly become known as Buttlejorrk. A Post Office opened on 5 September 1856 as The Gap, was renamed Buttlejork (sic) in 1875 and closed in 1919.Citation
