"Kill" is Dutch for stream or small river. You see it all over names in the Hudson Valley Region of New York State due to our Dutch founders.

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.
