The Alligator River in North Carolina is believed to have gotten its name from the presence of alligators in the region, particularly in the swampy areas nearby. Early settlers and explorers likely referred to the river by this name due to the reptiles they encountered. The river flows through a landscape characterized by wetlands and estuaries, which provide a suitable habitat for alligators. Thus, the name reflects both the local wildlife and the natural features of the area.
