Founded in 1836
The name "Tippah" is a Chickasaw word meaning "cut off," and is taken from the creek of the
same name that flows across much of the original county from northeast to southwest before emptying into the Tallahatchie
River. The creek probably was so named because it, and the ridges on either side, "cut off" the western
part of the region from the eastern portion.
The county seat is Ripley
