Catheys Creek was named for George Cathey, a revolutionary war soldier who owned roughly 300 acres along the creek. The first postmaster at Catheys Creek was Benjamin Wilson, serving from 1826 to 1837 when the river was a part of Buncombe County. After him, James Hamblen served as postmaster until its closing in 1861, after the establishment of Transylvania County. References
