**Kipp** is a [hamlet](/source/Hamlet_(place)) in [Alberta](/source/Alberta), Canada that is under the jurisdiction of [Lethbridge County](/source/Lethbridge_County).[1] It is approximately 29 kilometres (18 mi) northwest of [Lethbridge](/source/Lethbridge) between [Highway 3](/source/Alberta_Highway_3) and a [Canadian Pacific Kansas City](/source/Canadian_Pacific_Kansas_City) (CPKC) line.

Kipp originally began as a trading post called Fort Kipp, which was named after American whiskey trader Joe Kipp.[2] Although not at the same location as the [fort](/source/Fortification), Kipp takes its name from Fort Kipp.
