History

[edit]

This article needs a history section that explains the name Batavia and if possible links it to Dutch pioneers. See for example Batavia (city), New York. johanthon 11:26, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced material

[edit]

The following is unsourced information:

While this is interesting, we can't use it unless you provide a source. Also, none of this is really trivia, as trivia by its definition is "unimportant information" - it therefore shouldn't be in a trivia section but instead the information should be incorporated into the main article. - Tbsdy lives (talk) 08:26, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Matt Maupin's wiki article is well sourced of this information. The state of Ohio has recognized Matt Maupin as a notable resident, and as such, the community from where he is from has erected a Welcome Pavilion in honor of him.

Township

[edit]

Remarkably, I am unable to determine from either this article, or this article, or even this article, whether Batavia the municipality is or is not located in Batavia the township. Seems like a no-brainer, but I know from experience that it is not at all certain. Can someone from the region clarify this? HuskyHuskie (talk) 20:41, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is — this map is on the township article, and the township article says "Two incorporated villages are located in Batavia Township: part of Amelia in the southwest, and the county seat of Batavia in the center." Nyttend (talk) 19:53, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
