The population was 6,809 at the 2010 census. The name is derived from the Roman name for part of the Netherlands. The Town of Batavia was formed in 1802 along with the county. Batavia is centrally located in the county. The City of Batavia is surrounded by the town, but not part of the town. HistoryThe town was settled at the end of the 18th century. When Genesee County was created in 1802, it was created with one town: the Town of Batavia. At that time the county and its coterminous town encompassed most of western New York. The regional office of the Holland Land Company, the owner of all this territory, was located in the town, in the Village of Batavia, founded by Joseph Ellicott, the company's land agent. As other counties and towns were created, the territory of both the county and Town of Batavia shrank to its current size. GeographyAccording to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 48.5 square miles (125.5 km²), of which, 48.4 square miles (125.4 km²) of it is land and 0.04 square miles (0.1 km²) of it (0.06%) is water. The Tonawanda Creek flows westward through the town, and the New York State Thruway (Interstate 90) passes across the town. Adjacent towns and areasTo the north of the Town of Batavia are the Towns of Oakfield and Elba. The Town of Pembroke is on the west side, and the Town of Stafford is on the east side. The south border is shared by the Towns of Alexander and Bethany.
