Originally known as Cirrus,[3] Big Four is reported to have been renamed for the four men who operated the coal mines in the area. It was once home to the lively and beloved restaurant, "The Chatterbox", which incidentally was the location of the infamous "privy debacle". It also was home to the Starland Drive-In Theater and a roller rink.
