Big Horn County, located in the north-central region of the great state of Wyoming, was officially established on March 12, 1890. It was carved out from portions of Sheridan, Johnson, and Fremont Counties, covering an area of 3,159 square miles. The county was named after the Big Horn River, which originally derived its name from the bighorn sheep found in the area.

The region was initially inhabited by Native American tribes, such as the Crow, Arapaho, and Sioux. In the early 1800s, the area saw the arrival of European-American fur trappers and traders, followed by settlers in the late 19th century. Big Horn County's growth was significantly influenced by the Burlington & Missouri River Railroad's extension through the area in the early 1900s. This led to an agricultural boom, attracting more settlers and fostering the development of small communities.

The county seat, Basin, was founded in 1896 and quickly became a hub for the agricultural community. Ranching and farming, particularly sugar beet farming, played vital roles in the growth and economy of Big Horn County. The town of Lovell was founded in 1900 and also contributed to the area's growth with the construction of a sugar beet factory in 1916.

Today, Big Horn County is known for its stunning landscapes, which include the Bighorn National Forest, the Pryor Mountains, and Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area. Outdoor enthusiasts flock to this region of Wyoming for activities such as hiking, fishing, hunting, and exploring the vast landscapes.

Fun fact: The Medicine Wheel/Medicine Mountain National Historic Landmark, an intriguing ancient Native American site located at an elevation of 9,642 feet in the Bighorn National Forest, is in Big Horn County. This site has a stone structure in the shape of a wheel and is considered a sacred site by many Native American tribes. It is believed to be 300-800 years old and holds immense spiritual and historical significance.
