Chipola is an unincorporated community in St. Helena Parish, Louisiana, United States. The community is located less than 10miles northwest of Greensburg and 2miles northeast of Coleman Town.
It is speculated that the name of the community is derived from the phrase "Chi pa yo ala" which means "The stream that sinks into the earth like the setting moon" in an old dialect of the Creek language.[1] [2]
