Kitts Hummock is located on the Delaware Bay at the end of Kitts Hummock Road southeast of Dover.[2] It was originally named "Kidds Hammock" after 17th Century pirate Captain William Kidd and rumors he buried treasure there.[3] The "Hammock" referred to is the ecological version, meaning a stand of hardwood trees, and the name was inadvertently changed by employees of the Delaware Department of Transportation.[4] Kitts Hummock Beach is an official sanctuary for horseshoe crabs, the state marine animal of Delaware and a "signature species" of the Delaware Bay Estuary.[5] References1. ^{{cite gnis|214198|Kitts Hummock}} {{Kent County, Delaware}}{{Delaware-geo-stub}}2. ^{{Delaware road map|year=2008}} 3. ^{{cite news||title=Place Names Reveal Loyalties, Eccentricities of State Pioneers|agency=The Morning News(Wilmington, Delaware)|date=April 29, 1958}} 4. ^{{cite news||title=Kidds Hammock Correct Name, Research Shows|agency=The News Journal(Wilmington, Delaware)|date=September 18, 1974}} 5. ^http://www.ecodelaware.com/place.php?id=355 "EcoDelaware.com: Kitts Hummock Beach, an official horseshoe crab sanctuary" 3 : Unincorporated communities in Kent County, Delaware|Unincorporated communities in Delaware|Beaches of Delaware |
