Pippa Passes

Town in Knott County, southeastern Kentucky, USA, on the Cumberland Plateau, 100 km/60 mi southwest of Ashland; population (1990) 200. Situated in a coal mining and agricultural area, it is the seat of Alice Lloyd College, founded in 1923 as Caney Creek Junior College. The town was named after Robert Browning's poetic drama ‘Pippa Passes’ (1841), which concerns a mill worker who unconsciously changes the lives of those who hear her singing.
