Ripon was founded in 1849 by David P. Mapes, a former New York steamboat captain. Within two years the city had absorbed the nearby commune of Ceresco, established in 1844 by the Wisconsin Phalanx, a group of settlers inspired by the communitarian socialist philosophy of Charles Fourier. Mapes was a founder of Ripon College, originally incorporated as Brockway College in 1851.
Ripon is home to Ripon College, a private liberal arts college home to around 800 students, and was the former home of Rippin' Good Cookies (manufacturing moved out of Ripon after ConAgra bought the company in 2016), and the business formerly known as Speed Queen Washers.
Ripon had a Population of 783 in 2020
