Batemans Bay was named by Captain Cook after Nathaniel Bateman.
Nathaniel Bateman was a captain of Lord Colvill's ship when Captain Cook was serving as her mater from 1760-62. Indigenous Australians in the area attacked the crew of the ship in 1808 after it was driven into Bateman's Bay by bad weather.
In 1821 Robert Johnston came to the bay and explored the lower bottom reaches of the Clyde River on board the cutter Snapper. Snapper Island in the bay is named after Johnston's boat. Johnston returned with Alexander Berry and Hamilton Hume and they traced the river to its source.
When the district was surveyed in 1828, a deserted hut and stockyards were found. From the 1820s through to the 1840s, the area to the Moruya River was the southernmost official limit of location for the colony of New South Wales.
In 1942 during World War II, a trawler was attacked by a Japanese submarine between Batemans Bay and Moruya.
The population of the town in 1881 was 266; 1183 in 1961; 4924 in 1981 and 16,000 in 2005
