Batavia is an unincorporated community in Solano County, California, United States. Batavia is along a railroad line 3.5miles southwest of Dixon. It was a California Pacific Railroad station that was named around 1870 for the Latin name of The Netherlands.[1]
Batavia reportedly was platted in 1868 and had several streets laid out, but it primarily consisted of a train depot and a few residences.[2] The warehouses were destroyed in a fire in 1917.[3] Batavia declined after highway travel largely replaced rail travel.
