It goes back to the Dutch roots that are firmly planted in the Hudson Valley Region. "Kill" is Dutch for "stream or small river". Beaverkill -- A stream where the beaver are. Fishkill -- A stream where there are fish Peekskill -- Jan Peek founded the city....near a tributary that flows into the Hudson River at that location.
