History

[http://www.flyinghpolo.com/history.htm Polo History] At one time Big Horn had nearly 1,000 residents and boasted a college, a brick factory, a newspaper, two churches, a hotel, a livery barn, two saloons, and a mercantile. Fort Phil Kearney was established on Piney Creek, but continued harassment by the Lakota led to the abandonment of the Fort and the withdrawal of the US Army from the Powder River Country under the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868. Big Horn made a bid to be the seat of Sheridan County, but a run-off election gave the title to Sheridan in 1888. The railroad came to Sheridan in 1893, and since that time Big Horn has been a satellite community of Sheridan. The event attracted national media who were interested in recording the visit of an international dignitary to a small western town.
