From Estill County History
History
"Located about 13 miles from Irvine on Highway #89 south, not far from the Estill-Jackson County line. The locality received its name from the dripping of a spring located near the old Drip Rock School. The children and many families in the community carried water from the spring. The post office was established when a change was made from Jackson County to Drip Rock on March 4, 1939. Postmasters at Drip Rock were: Mrs. Ethel Harrison, James R. Clark, Floyd Fowler and Geraldine Marcum." - Place Name Survey-Estill County, Kentucky, Bobby L. and Lorene Rose, circa 1970s.
