From 1850 to 1854, it was a part of Maple Grove township. From 1854 to 1856, it was a part of Franklin. In 1857, Cato township was organized as "a separate municipality. While Cato was a part of these various townships, school districts were set up in these areas. As these districts were set up, they were numbered in accordance with the municipality in which the present townships were then affiliated. The Cato school districts were numbered as they are in this manner: Cato 1, Cato 2 (now a part of Cato No. Jt. 9), Cato Jt. 3, Maple Grove Jt. 4 with Cato (now Rockland Jt. 4), Cato Jt. 5 (now a part of Cato No. Jt. 9), Franklin No. 6 (now a part of Franklin Jt. 2), Cato Jt. 7, Franklin No. 8, the first Cato Jt. 9 with Rockland (now a part of Cato Jt. 8), Cato 10, Cato 11, and Cato 12. All of the school histories were written during 1946-1947 school terms by the teachers then employed in those districts. Cato No. 2 and Jt. 5 histories were written from county records.
