Ripperdan is an unincorporated community in Madera, California, United States. The town was named for Abraham and Mahala Ripperdan, who settled the area. However, in later years the site became informally known as "Jap Corners" for the succession of Japanese-American business owners who operated the grocery store and a local farm labor center. Much of the town was destroyed in a fire in 1967.
