Rippon, West Virginia

Rippon is an unincorporated hamlet in Jefferson County, West Virginia south of Charles Town. The village of Rippon developed in the mid-1800s at the crossroads of the Berryville and Charles Town Turnpike (Route 340), Withers-LaRue Road, and Myetstown Road. A number of farms with large old homes still surround the village, as they have since the earliest settlement in the county. According to the 2000 census, the town has a population of 223 [http://www.downloadzipcode.com/WV/25441/] .

The town was named after nearby Ripon Lodge, although an extra "P" was added to avoid confusion with a town in Wisconsin.
