'''New Bataan''', officially the '''Municipality of New Bataan''' ({{langx|ceb|Lungsod sa Bag-ong Bataan}}; {{langx|tl|Bayan ng Bagong Bataan}}), is a [[municipality of the Philippines|municipality]] in the [[Philippine Province|province]] of [[Davao de Oro]], [[Philippines]]. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 51,466 people.{{PH census|It is the third largest municipality in terms of land area in Davao de Oro.}}

==History==
The municipality was founded on 18 June 1968, through Republic Act No. 4756.<ref>{{cite book|title=Republic Act No. 4756: AN ACT CREATING THE MUNICIPALITY OF NEW BATAAN IN THE PROVINCE OF DAVAO|year=1966}}</ref>

With then [[First Lady of the Philippines|First Lady]] [[Luz Banzon Magsaysay]] who helped in the approval of the town site reservation in now Barangay Cabinuangan, the municipality got its name in honor to her who came and got prominence in [[Bataan]], where also [[Tagalog people|Tagalog]] settlers in the area came from during [[Commonwealth of the Philippines|Commonwealth]] and post-World War II periods.

The municipality was one of the hardest-hit towns of [[Typhoon Pablo]] when it hit the town on 4 December 2012.<ref>{{cite news|title=Typhoon death toll climbs to over 200|url=http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/318893/typhoon-death-toll-climbs-to-over-200|newspaper=Philippine Daily Inquirer|accessdate=5 December 2012}}</ref>

==Geography==
New Bataan has a total land area of {{Convert|55315|ha}}{{PSGC detail|area}} and is situated north and west of [[Davao Oriental]] province; south of Municipality of [[Compostela, Davao de Oro|Compostela]] and west of Municipality of [[Maragusan, Davao de Oro|Maragusan]]. It is surrounded by mountain ranges, with over 50% of its territory being forest cover that has been the source of livelihood for some people living there. The [[barangay]]s of New Bataan that are mostly covered with forest are Andap, Tandawan, Camanlangan, Manurigao. Manurigao is the most remote among the barangay because of the absence of a better road and transportation.

The municipality is also watered by various rivers. One of which is the Mayo River that flows from the mountain of Andap and empties into the [[Agusan River]]. The Batoto river is also one of the biggest, it flows from the western part of the area. The northwestern portion of the municipality forms part on the contiguous plain of Compostela valley.

It is about {{Convert|16|km}} from [[Compostela, Davao de Oro|Compostela]], {{Convert|40|km}} from the provincial capital [[Nabunturan, Davao de Oro|Nabunturan]], and {{Convert|75|km}} from [[Tagum]].
