Batavia, Ohio
Batavia (/bəˈteɪviə/ bə-TAY-vee-ə) is a village in Clermont County, Ohio, United States, and its county seat. The population was 1,972 at the 2020 census. It is part of the Cincinnati metropolitan area.
Batavia was surveyed on May 28, 1788, by Captain Francis Minnis, John O'Bannon, Nicholas Keller, Archelus Price, and John Ormsley. Virginian Ezekiel Dimmitt became the area's first settler in the fall of 1797. George Ely purchased the Minnis survey in 1807 and platted the town on October 24, 1814, possibly naming it after Batavia, New York. The Clermont County seat moved from New Richmond to Batavia on February 24, 1824. Batavia finally incorporated as a village on February 10, 1842.
The Norfolk and Western Railway stopped at Batavia from March 1877 to April 1971. The Cincinnati, Georgetown and Portsmouth Railroad, an interurban railroad, also ran through town from 1903 to 1934. Norfolk Southern can sometimes pass through Batavia about 3 times a day.
A petition to dissolve the village was created in September 2024 in response to a controversial proposal for a housing development.[relevant?]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 1.62 square miles (4.20 km2), of which 1.59 square miles (4.12 km2) is land and 0.03 square miles (0.08 km2) is water. It is surrounded by Batavia Township.

There were 713 housing units at an average density of 448.4 per square mile (173.1/km2). The racial makeup of the village was 93.6% White, 3.4% African American, 0.5% Native American, 0.6% Asian, 0.1% from other races, and 1.8% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.9% of the population.
