Whippany is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP)[3] located within Hanover Township in Morris County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[4] Whippany's name is derived from the Whippanong Native Americans, a tribe that once inhabited the area. Whippanong meant "place of the willows", named for the trees growing along the banks of the Whippany River.[5]
