Село Катеринівка розташоване в 30 кілометрах на північний захід від Лебедина, в 10 кілометрах від траси Київ - Суми.
Відоме з другої половини XVII сторіччя, коли ці землі належали гетьману Павлу Полуботку. В 1743 році вони перейшли у власність графа Василя Капніста, грека за походженням, який відзначився на військовій службі в царській армії. На великих цілинних луках навколо родового маєтку Капністів в Михайлівці випасали орлівських рисаків, яких розводили в графських стайнях.
Зараз поблизу Катеринівки, поруч з сусіднім селом, знаходиться заповідник "Михайлівська цілина". На єдиній в світі ділянці лугового степу, яка ніколи не знала плуга, зараз росте понад 500 видів трав.
