A Look Back: History of Cato
A post office, which is where people send and receive mail, opened in Cato in 1894. It stayed open for about nine years. The post office was closed down in 1903.
According to a writer named Ronald L. Baker, the community of Cato might have been named after another place. It could be named after a town called Cato, New York.
