Pippa Passes, Kentucky
Pippa Passes is a 6th-class city located along Caney Creek in Knott County, Kentucky, United States. Its formal name was chosen to honor benefactors of Alice Lloyd College but, after more than a century, its inhabitants still refer to the community as Caney or Caney Creek. The population was 533 at the time of the year 2010 U.S. Census.
==History==
The settlement was long known as "Caney" or "Caney Creek" when Alice Lloyd arrived from Boston in 1916. She solicited funds for the erection of a local post office and the establishment of Caney Creek Junior College, which were opened in 1917 and 1923 respectively. A donation from the Browning Society led to the post office's being named after Robert Browning's ''Pippa Passes'', a verse drama which coined the phrase "God's in His heaven, all's right with the world". (The U.S. Postal Service's preference for monogrammatic names meant, however, that the office was known as Pippapass until 1955.)〔Rennick, Robert. ''Kentucky Place Names'', (p. 236 ). University Press of Kentucky (Lexington), 1987. Accessed 1 Aug 2013.〕
The city of Pippa Passes was incorporated by the state assembly on July 1, 1983, and it is now governed by a mayor and city council.〔Alice Lloyd College. "(Campus Safety )".
