History

Big Horn is a census-designated place (CDP) in Sheridan County, Wyoming County, Wyoming, United States. He participated in the massive-hide harvest that wiped out the buffalo on the northern plains. Big Horn made a bid to be the seat of Sheridan County, but a run-off election gave the title to Sheridan in 1888. Supposedly, things got "too hot" for them in the Black Hills, and so they headed for the unsettled country near the Big Horn Mountains, where they encountered O.P.
