Tippah County, County administrative division in northern Mississippi, United States
Tippah County encompasses 460 square miles of land featuring rolling hills, rivers, and agricultural fields across the northern border of Mississippi.
The county was formed in 1836 from Tishomingo County lands, with its name derived from a Chickasaw term meaning rocky land or cut off.
Two school districts, North and South Tippah, manage education while Northeast Mississippi Community College provides additional learning opportunities for local residents.
The county seat of Ripley connects to major routes including U.S. Highway 72, Mississippi Highway 2, and Mississippi Highway 15 for regional transportation.
