About Caton
Caton is a small neighborhood in Sevier County, Tennessee, set in the foothills northwest of Pittman Center and northeast of Gatlinburg.

Nearby communities include Richardson Cove, Oldham, Seaton Spring, Zion Grove and Laurel, all within a few miles. The area sits near both the tourism corridor around Gatlinburg and the open farmland near Fairgarden to the north.
