Ripperdan, California

Summary

Ripperdan is an unincorporated community in Madera, California, United States.[1] The town was named for Abraham and Mahala Ripperdan, who settled the area. However, in later years the site became informally known as "Jap Corners" for the succession of Japanese-American business owners who operated the grocery store and a local farm labor center.[2] Much of the town was destroyed in a fire in 1967.[3]
