Butha-Buthe was founded in 1884 in order to provide the local ruler with a place where he could pay taxes, rather than forcing him to the more distant town of Hlotse.
The town has a high school called Bokoro High School. A Canadian organization called Help Lesotho has been assisting the school with their literary skills, helping it to become one of the highest ranked schools for literacy skills out of the schools. Bokoro is twinned with Ridgemont High School in Ottawa.
