In 2003, the town had an estimated population of 13,195 and a population density of 86.99 per km². The total area was 151.68 km².

On October 1, 2005, Batō, along with the town of Ogawa (also from Nasu District), was merged to create the town of Nakagawa.

Starting in 1990, it was the sister city of Horseheads, New York in the United States Of America. Nakagawa later inherited the role. Bato could be translated as "horsehead".
