Tippah County is a county located on the northern border of the U.S. state of Mississippi. As of the 2020 census, the population was 21,815.[1] Its county seat is Ripley.[2] The name "Tippah" is derived from a Chickasaw language word meaning "cut off." It was 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.

One of President Bill Clinton's great-grandfathers is buried here.[3]

Politics

Tippah County is a Republican stronghold, having moved away from the Democratic Party in the 1960s along with much of the rest of Mississippi (although southern favorite Jimmy Carter did carry the county in both 1976 and 1980). The Republican trend in the county has increased in recent presidential elections, with the 2024 election showing the strongest Republican performance since 1972.
