According to Dư địa chí by royal official Nguyễn Trãi, Bát Tràng Village (Bát Tràng hương) may have appeared since the 14th century with the function of a career association, what was like commodity streets in Đông Đô the capital city. His document said: "Bát Tràng Village makes cups and bowls", "Bát Tràng of Gia Lâm District and Huê Cầu of Văn Giang District. These two villages provide goods for tribute to the Central State, including 70 sets of bowls and plates, accompanied by 20 dark cloth sheets". The period from the middle of the 15th century to the early 18th century is often considered the golden time of Bát Tràng Village, which has existed as one of the leading brands of ceramics and porcelain in the world. Its items have followed big ships to go everywhere. However, in the middle 18th century, the Qing Dynasty was forced to leave Western merchants into Chinese ports to freely buy and sell after receiving some political and military failures. This has led to the chain effect of the breakdown in the East Asian business, which was backward compared to Western goods. Modern archaeological achievements even pointed out that, Annamese aristocracy at that time was no longer popular with domestic goods. They have regularly ordered in large quantities of ceramics and porcelains from Guangxi. As a result, Bát Tràng brand has lost its influence very quickly and has to gradually narrowed the scale.

According to the statistical yearbook of the whole Hanoi, as of 2025 Bát Tràng Commune had a demography of 48,987. Besides, the population of the whole ward is fully registered as Kinh people.
