KILL DEVIL HILLS
-
Outer Banks Calendar of Events
Kill Devil Hills is the Outer Banks'
oldest township, established in 1952. But the landmark
that lends the town its distinctive name has been around
much longer. At one time, the northern Outer Banks was
characterized by a series of sand mountains over 100
feet high. These dunes stretched from sound to sea, from
Corolla south to Nags Head. Kill Devil Hill was one of
the larger of the dunes, and stories about how the
monolith got its name are varied and colorful; the
generally accepted one is that it is named for ''Kill
Devil,'' a brand of rum found washed ashore during the
colonial period.
Kill Devil Hills is a great central location in the
heart of it all...with beaches in walking distance,
shopping and dining. For adventure take an Aerial
Tour over the great Atlantic of the Outer Banks.
Come visit Kill Devils for food, fun and family
times!
