history

Ippik was already inhabited before 1845. The place originally belonged to the Moravian Brethren . From 1911 the place was part of the municipality of Sydprøven.

In 1919 there were 33 residents who lived in six houses. Among them were four hunters, two fishermen and a catechist. Most of the inhabitants lived from fishing and hunted seals and foxes.
