Of Farmingdale, or Farmingdell, John Randolph of Roanoke said, in a letter dated 1832: "But the true name is Kippax, called after the village of Kippax and Kippax Park, adjacent thereto, the seat of my maternal ancestors, the Blands, of the West Riding of York."

The present representative (1854) is Thomas Davison Bland, of Kippax Park, Esq. Gill signifies dell or valley.
