Why is it called Kill Devil Hills there?

Some say the pirates — who once called these shores home — inadvertently named the town. Legend has it that pirates had settled on a large sand dune and spent theirs nights making moonshine. They brewed such horrific batches of rum that they were rumored to "kill the devil." The name stuck.
