The town fiesta is celebrated every February 10 in honor of their patron saint, St. William the Hermit. Part of the annual fiesta is the Budbod Kabog Festival and participated by the public schools.
The municipality got its name from the presence of huge trees called katmon ( Dillenia philippinensis ) that thrive in this area. It was in 1835 that the town was founded under the Spaniards, but it was only in 1903 when the place became a municipality, after the Americans asked the leaders of Catmon and the nearby settlement of Sogod to merge into one, single municipality. 18 years after its establishment, in 1921, Sogod became a separate municipality.
Catmon is bordered on the north by the town of Sogod, to the west by the town of Tuburan, on the east by the Camotes Sea, and on the south by the town of Carmen. It is 57 kilometres (35 mi) from Cebu City.

The municipality's climate is of Coronas climate type IV, where rainfall is evenly distributed throughout the year. Mount Capayas (Kapayas) (also known as Tore Peak), Cebu's second highest peak, is located in Cambangkaya. Mount Capayas is one of the Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) of Cebu. [6]
