Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, gets its name from the early 18th-century rum trade, when shipwrecked sailors referred to the area as "Kill Devil" due to the potent local spirits that were said to "kill the devil" in them. The name was also associated with the dangerous waters off the Outer Banks, where many ships met their fate. The area is famously known for being the site of the Wright brothers' first powered flight in 1903, marking a significant moment in aviation history.
