Rípurhreuppur was a hreppur, an old Icelandic municipality, in the middle of Skagafjörður County, Iceland, named after the Ríp church site in Hegranes.[1] On June 6, 1998, Rípurhreppur joined ten other local governments to form Skagafjörður county: Skefilsstaðahreppur, Sauðárkrókur, Skarðshreppur, Staðarhreppur, Seyluhreppur, Lýtingsstaðahreppur, Viðvíkurhreppur, Hólahreppur, Hofshreppur, and Fljótahreppur.[2]
The last Rípurhreppur council was elected in the Icelandic: hreppur committee election on May 28, 1994, in which Lilja Ólafsdóttir, Pálmar Jóhannesson, Símon Traustason, Sævar Einarsson, and Þórunn Jónsdóttir were voted into office.[3]
