Big Cabin is a town in Craig County, Oklahoma, United States.

[5] The town was named for a local landmark, a plank cabin, that existed near the place where the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway built a switch in 1871–2.

In 1892 the Post Office Department assigned a postal designation to Big Cabin.

According to the United States Census Bureau, Big Cabin has a total area of 2.2 square miles (5.7 km2), all land.

In 2004 Big Cabin raised nearly three-fourths of its revenue from traffic citations for speeding.

The state of Oklahoma enacted a law in 2004 that penalizes towns where the citation revenue exceeds 50% of the annual budget.

As a result of a complaint filed by a local business, Oklahoma's Department of Public Safety designated the town a speed trap, and prohibited the town's officers from writing traffic tickets for six months.

The police department maintained that enforcement lowered the annual rate of traffic deaths.

[9] In fall 1991 the Big Cabin School District, which had a student population of under 100, voted to dissolve itself.
