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]

Hreppur Council

The last Rípurhreppur council was elected in the 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]
