Reoti is located about 13 km from Bansdih, the tehsil headquarters, and 35 km from Ballia, the district headquarters.^[2]: 241 The town is located on the east bank of a large lake called the Reoti Dah, and the surrounding ground is low-lying, swampy, and flood-prone. The Reoti railway station is located about 0.8 km south of the town proper.^{[3]: 247–8}

Reoti was first officially constituted as a municipality on 27 February 1873, under the Bengal Chaukidari Act of 1856.^[2]: 175 At the turn of the 20th century, the town had a railway station, a twice-weekly market, a postal sub-office, a police station, and four schools. The 1901 census recorded a population of 8,631, including a Muslim minority of 925. The local Muslims mainly belonged to the Julaha weaving community, and Reoti had a sizeable weaving industry at the time, with 75 looms recorded in town c. 1907. Much of the produced cloth was exported to Bengal. Other local industries included shoemaking and the manufacture of palanquins for the Dadri mela at Ballia. A prominent writer from Reoti during this period was Panch Deo Pande, who was mostly just known locally.^{[3]: 83, 248}

The first library was opened in Reoti in 1959, and a second one opened in 1974. An ayurvedic dispensary was opened in 1960, and an allopathic hospital was opened in 1967. The town first received access to electricity in 1962, and in 1975-76, 40 electric street lamps were first installed. In 1968, the town was put under the Uttar Pradesh Town Areas Act of 1914. From then on, it was administered by a 12-member municipal council (including a chairman and 11 regular members) that was chosen by local elections every five years.^{[2]: 177, 203, 212–3}

As of the 2011 census, Reoti had a population of 26,359, in 3,910 households. This population was 51.5% male (13,577) and 48.5% female (12,782). The 0-6 age group numbered 4,359 (2,300 male and 2,059 female), or 16.5% of the total population. 2,454 residents were members of Scheduled Castes, or 9.3% of the total. The town's literacy rate was 63.1% (counting only people age 7 and up). ^{[4]: 30–1} There was a significant gender disparity in literacy, with 72.9% of men and boys but only 52.8% of women and girls able to read and write (again, counting only people age 7 and up). The corresponding 20.1% gender literacy gap was the highest recorded among towns in Ballia district.^[1]: 44
