Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Cato is a village in Cayuga County, New York, United States. The population was 532 at the 2010 census. The name was assigned by the surveyors of the Military Tract, and is one of many towns and villages bearing classical place names. The Village of Cato is partially within the Towns of Cato and Ira. Cato is west of Syracuse, New York. The village was part of the Central New York Military Tract, land set aside in 1782 for veterans of the American Revolution. Prior native occupants were compelled to live on reservations established at that time. The first permanent settler arrived around 1805, and the new community was called "Jakway's Corners."
