Its formal name was chosen to honor benefactors of Alice Lloyd College. Residents commonly call the community "Caney" or "Caney Creek". The population was 533 at the 2010 census,[2] up from 297 at the 2000 census. The small city is located in the mountainous Appalachia region, an area of coal mining. HistoryEuropean Americans had long called this settlement "Caney" or "Caney Creek" by 1916, when Alice Lloyd arrived from Boston, Massachusetts. She solicited funds for the construction of a local post office and the founding 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. In this verse drama he coined the phrase "God's in His heaven, all's right with the world."[3] (Given the U.S. Postal Service's preference for monogrammatic names, this location was known as "Pippapass" until 1955.)[4] The city of Pippa Passes was incorporated by the state assembly on July 1, 1983. GovernmentIt is governed by a mayor elected at-large and a city council whose members are elected from single-member districts.[5] As of 2009, the mayor is Scott Cornett. He is the baseball coach for the college.[6] The local police department operates as a combined unit with the college's security organization.[5] GeographyPippa Passes is in eastern Knott County at {{coord|37|20|5|N|82|52|32|W|type:city}} (37.334629, -82.875490), [7] in the valley of the Caney Fork.
