Cato

The small community of Cato sits on the edge of Pulaski County, to the north of North Little Rock. It was a thriving little town, and there is still an old church there that was built in 1872. The church was originally named the Frenchman Mountain Methodist Episcopal Church.



There isn't much to Cato now. The population went into a steep decline in 1940 when Camp Robinson was built. The Army bought most of the land, cutting off access to the town. The church closed in the 1960s, but it is still well maintained and in great shape.
